All men sinned but with God there was forgiveness which ought to cause us to fear (revere, respect) Him.
5I wait for Jehovah, my soul doth wait, And in his word do I hope.
6My soul waiteth for the Lord More than watchmen wait for the morning; Yea, more than watchmen for the morning.
5I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
6My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

8And he will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
7Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.
