Psalms 78:8 *Remember not our former iniquities: let thy mercies speedily prevent us, for we are become exceedingly poor.

Isaias 64:9.
Former iniquities, which we and our fathers have committed. The Hebrews generally pray for the remission of their parent's faults, Lamentations 5:7., Baruch 3:5., and Daniel 9:5. (Calmet) --- But here the penitents' own transgressions may be meant. (Berthier) --- God is ready to pardon such. (Worthington)
