The second of seven penitential psalms of David, confessing his sins and turning to God for salvation.

The curse of sins not confessed and the great blessing of sins confessed and forgiven.

A Psalm asking God to continue to teach us His Ways.

A penitential Psalm calling to God to turn, discipline and save us.

Jesus is the Righeous Branch who will reign as King of kings and be our Great High Priest to intercede before God on our behalf and will reign forever.

There is always hope with God, who in His mercy always remembers us!

God declares for us forgiveness for all who will come to Him in faith and His covenant that lasts forever.

Good news of God restoring, conquering our enemies and the hope of everlasting life.

Repent and come to God.

People refuse to repent and God proclaims judgment, while always being ready to bring us back in if we repent.
