(詩篇32，51篇)
-「3我閉口不認罪的時候，因終日唉哼而骨頭枯乾。
4黑夜白日、你的手在我身上沉重，我的精液耗盡、如同夏天的乾旱。
5我向你陳明我的罪、不隱瞞我的惡。我說：我要向耶和華承認我的過犯，你就赦免我的罪惡。」(詩32:3-5)
-「神阿、求你按你的慈愛憐恤我、按你豐盛的慈悲塗抹我的過犯…5我是在罪孽裏生的．在我母親懷胎的時候、就有了罪。6你所喜愛的、是內裏誠實…7求你用牛膝草潔淨我…求你洗滌我…9求你掩面不看我的罪、塗抹我一切的罪孽。
10 神阿、求你為我造清潔的心、使我裏面重新有正直的靈。
11不要丟棄我、使我離開你的面．不要從我收回你的聖靈。
12求你使我仍得救恩之樂、賜我樂意的靈扶持我…
17 神所要的祭、就是憂傷的靈． 神阿、憂傷痛悔的心、你必不輕看。
18求你隨你的美意善待錫安、建造耶路撒冷的城牆。」(詩篇51篇)

IV. David’s
repentance (Psalm 32，51)
- “When I kept
silent, my bones grew old through my groaning all the day long. For day
and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my vitality was
turned into the drought of summer. I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, ‘I will
confess my transgressions to the LORD,’ and You
forgave the iniquity of my sin.” (Psalm 32:3-5)
- “Have mercy
upon me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; according
to the multitude of Your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions… 5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my
mother conceived me. 6
Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts… 7 Purge me with hyssop…Wash me… 9 Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my
iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and
renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast
me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy
Spirit from me.
12Restore to me the joy of Your
salvation, and uphold me by Your
generous Spirit…
17 The sacrifices of God are
a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart— These, O God, You will not
despise.
18 Do good in Your
good pleasure to
