Psalms 25:18

Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

Forgive all my sins ( naasa' (H5375)) - literally, 'bear all my sins;' take them away by the atoning Victim bearing them on Him (Isaiah 53:4; Isaiah 53:12). Compare the types, Leviticus 10:17; Leviticus 16:22; Numbers 5:31. "Sin" is the deadly root of all the "affliction" and "pain" in the world. In praying that sin may be taken away, we cut the root of all our of all the "affliction" and "pain" in the world. In praying that sin may be taken away, we cut the root of all our misery.
