O Lord, be pleased to take away the sin of your servant

The wrath of God

And after the people had been numbered, David’s heart was troubled. And David said to the Lord, Great has been my sin in doing this; but now, O Lord, be pleased to take away the sin of your servant, for I have done very foolishly
2 Samuel 24:10

2Sa 24:1 Again the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and moving David against them, he said, Go, take the number of Israel and Judah.
1Ch 21:1 Now Satan, designing evil against Israel, put into David’s mind the impulse to take the number of Israel.
