You shall have no other gods before Me.
Blessed is he
whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man
against whom the Lord does not count iniquity,
and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
When I kept silent,
my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.
For day and night
Your hand was heavy on me;
my strength was changed
into the drought of summer. Selah
I acknowledged my sin to You,
and my iniquity I did not conceal.
I said, “I will confess
my transgressions to the Lord,”
and You forgave
the iniquity of my sin. Selah
For this cause everyone who is godly will pray to You
in a time when You may be found;
surely in the floods of great waters
they will not reach him.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin.
For I acknowledge my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
Against You, You only, have I sinned,
and done this evil in Your sight,
so that You are justified when You speak,
and You are blameless when You judge.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and a contrite heart,
O God, You will not despise.
All of us like sheep have gone astray;
each of us has turned to his own way,
but the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
And He said, “What comes out of a man is what defiles a man.
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adultery, fornication, murder,
theft, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride and foolishness.
All these evil things come from within and defile a man.”
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Whoever practices sin breaks the law, for sin is lawlessness.
All wrongdoing is sin, but there is a sin that does not lead to death.
