Psalm 51 Verse 10: Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities.

Am I worthy of God’s forgiveness of my sins? Are any of us worthy? Well, the answer to these questions is “No, we are not worthy.” So this verse sends the message that God should hide from us since we are not worthy. However, He does not. I wrote in other verses about the mercy and kindness that God showers upon us with no guarantee of a favorable return on His investment. Instead we ask for our iniquities to be obscured, obliterated, and hidden. We find it difficult to ask for removal of sins, but God grants what is best for us. I want to act in a worthy manner as my faith in God demands. When I fail, God will still be with me.
