[:en]When David committed the sin of adultery with Bathsheba, he was remorseful and repented of his sin. He humbly prayed to God” “My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart you God will not despise” (Ps. 51:17). After he had confessed and was forgiven by God he responded by saying: “Open my lips Lord and my voice will declare your praise” (Ps. 51:15)
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When we sin, we must be humble to confess and seek forgiveness from God. God’s forgiveness can produce a fresh sense of openness with Him. And as our soul is set free, our response to His forgiveness is PRAISE.[:]
