• David too says but one thing in God's presence: "I have sinned against the Lord." When a soul has seen this it has taken a tremendous step forward....David says: "I have sinned against Jehovah," not: I have sinned against Urijah or against Urijah's wife. Our sins against others may be forgiven by those whom we have offended; we may make amends in a certain measure for the sins we commit against ourselves, but what can we say when we have sinned against the Lord? One says: "I have sinned," for he is ashamed of his sin because men see it; but it is quite another thing when one is convicted that the thing he has done is evil in the sight of the Lord. (“Forgiveness, Discipline, and Restoration: 2 Samuel 12” by H.L. Rossier)

• He does not say: Jehovah will, but rather "has put away thy sin." He had dealt with His servant's sin beforehand; He had made provision so that the sin was put away from David and so that it no longer came up before God. This is what we find at the cross of Christ. (“Forgiveness, Discipline, and Restoration: 2 Samuel 12” by H.L. Rossier)
