You answered them, O Lord our God;
You were to them God-Who-Forgives,
Though You took vengeance on their deeds. v.8
Read chapter 99
God-Who-Forgives. A sweet title that everyone is thankful for, even the great men of faith like Moses, Aaron, and Samuel referred to in the verses before. They were sinners in need of mercy just like the rest of us. The use of the word "our" God shows that it is not just their god but both them and the psalmist. There is not a worship of two different gods. There was still judgment for their sins as a result but once the Lord cast His judgment He doesn't hold it to us.
Are you able to call the Lord the "God-Who-Forgives" or is there something in your life that you can't believe God's been able to forgive (there's no sin He can't forgive!)?
