Psalms 143:1-2
(1) A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O LORD; give ear to my pleas for mercy! In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness!
(2) Enter not into judgment with your servant, for no one living is righteous before you.
David understood where he was before the Lord. Even though he was a man after God's own heart he knew that even he was not truly righteous before the Lord. David needed God's grace as much as I or anyone else does.
I think this is a vital truth as we think about our standing before the Almighty. Are we going to trust our feeble efforts at righteousness or are we going to trust the righteousness of Christ?
