Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.
Remember not the sins of my youth - a necessary consequence of the previous "Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies" (Psalms 25:6); because God 'remembers,' and can never forget, His eternally gracious character. Therefore, He 'remembers not the sins,' nor even the aggravated "transgressions," of His people, who cast themselves on 'His tender mercies.' In "youth," especially, the passions are strong (2 Timothy 2:22).
According to thy mercy remember thou me. The Hebrew ( checed (H2617)) for "mercy" is translated "loving-kindness," Psalms 25:6 Translate it so here.
