David knew what it was like to sin grievously and yet be forgiven by God when he confessed and turned back to Him. God has always been faithful and forgiving to he has called by name.. As David said,
For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.
The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love. - Ps 33:4-5 NIV
This has been true as well for his people, Israel, who he called to be his own centuries ago. They have turned away from him many times, but he has always been faithful. A remnant has always been preserved. His love will not fail them even in these days.
The LORD foils the plans of the nations;
he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever,
the purposes of his heart through all generations.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
the people he chose for his inheritance.
From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind;
from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth-
he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.
No king is saved by the size of his army;
no warrior escapes by his great strength.
A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
despite all its great strength it cannot save.
But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. - Psalms 33:10-20 NIV
A righteous, all knowing God looks down from heaven and sees what is really going on. He sees those who fear him, those who hope in him, and he has been, is, and will always be faithful.
Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep. - Ps. 36:5-6
