MAN'S SINFULNESS AND NEED OF REPENTANCE AND FORGIVENESS

“Do not enter into judgment with your servant;
For before you no one alive can be righteous.
”—Ps.
 143:2.


“O Jehovah, do not in your indignation reprove me,
Nor in your rage correct me.

For your own arrows have sunk themselves deep into me,
And upon me your hand is come down.

There is no sound spot in my flesh because of your denunciation.

There is no peace in my bones on account of my sin.

For my own errors have passed over my head;
Like a heavy load they are too heavy for me.

My wounds have become stinky, they have festered,
Because of my foolishness.

I have become disconcerted, I have bowed low to an extreme degree;
All day long I have walked about sad.
”—Ps.
 38:1-6.


“Look! With error I was brought forth with birth pains,
And in sin my mother conceived me.
”
“May you purify me from sin with hyssop, that I may be clean;
May you wash me, that I may become whiter even than snow.
”
“Conceal your face from my sins,
And wipe out even all my errors.
”—Ps.
 51:5, 7, 9.


“Happy is the one whose revolt is pardoned, whose sin is covered.

Happy is the man to whose account Jehovah does not put error,
And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

My sin I finally confessed to you, and my error I did not cover.

I said: ‘I shall make confession over my transgressions to Jehovah.
’
And you yourself pardoned the error of my sins.
”—Ps.
 32:1-5.
