David, Psalm 32, Lords Prayer In Matthew 6

My sins are covered, sang David
Joyful in Psalm 32
My transgressions forgiven, he added
Sing songs of Deliverance
Teaching Disciples (us) to pray:
Jesus did not mention "sin"
Matthews Gospel, 6: 9-13
But returns to forgiving again
At prayers end: caution
"If you don't, Abba won't"
But David's psalms show his Love
For He whose Ears always attend 
None talked so much to Yah
As King David, before and after
His rise to kingship: confessions galore
Lord's Prayer avoids "sin"
Why LORD? YOU repeat "forgive others"
Jesus preferred using "transgressions"
The meaning of disobedience
Our sinful hearts, before
Always found a way
To disobey, find lawyer- like loopholes
That, says the Word, reveals us

Yes, He never condemns us for our sins or transgressions, if like David, we too repent !
