Psalm 51
David had sin against, when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.
Behold. I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.
David asked God create in him a clean spirit within him, and take not Holy Spirit from him.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
The psalm itself is deeply moving. It lets us see right into the soul of a man who has loved god yet fallen into grievous sin.
He has been made to see himself through God's eyes, and he is heartbroken.
He makes no excuse, simply accepts God's judgment and admits his guilt.
All he can do now - knowing God's love and mercy - is ask forgiveness and the chance of a fresh start.
Why?
Simple and confess my iniquity with broken heart and spirit, hope God hide his face to his sin. Psalmist was accept what God will do to him about his sins.
When we were born we are sinner. so only God can save us from death. God can bring us to the kingdom of freedom.
God dies not delight in sacrifice and burnt offerings. God delights the thank heart and repented heart.
How?
Usually repent to my sins and confess it, O Lord, give me a pure heart and create a clean spirit within me.
