Hi Jane,
David is such an interesting life to study. The simplicity of his youth then the corruption that entered his life after he became king. God loved David because he had child like faith. He never considered that the Lord would not deliver, he believed God. David also understood things just like a born again christian would. His iniquity (sins) were rotteness in his bones and he rejoiced in his forgiveness in the Lord just like we do. He also paid for his sins in his life time just as we do, for the Lord said to us He will not be mocked, what we sew we shall also reap.

Psalm 37 is for me because I used to and still do at times fume at what the unbelievers seem to get away with. They don't seem to suffer for the evil they do. Psalm 37 gives the answer. They don't suffer because they are going to the furnace to be burned up. Why punish them now when they will pay the ultimate price in time. We are the ones who are given a great gift. God will not let us use it as a ticket to freely sin. Just as David suffered for his iniquities so do we and later we will reap the ultimate reward.

I was reading Isaiah and in 6:6-7 Isaiah received forgiveness of his sins, long before Jesus came and accomplished that forgiveness according to ordinary perceptions of time.
