Psalm 51:3

Listen to Psalm 51:3
3 Perciocchè io conosco i miei misfatti, E il mio peccato è del continuo davanti a me.

Psalm 51:3 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 51:3

For I acknowledge my transgressions
Before God and man. Acknowledgment of sin is what the Lord requires, and promises forgiveness upon, and therefore is used here as a plea for it; and moreover the psalmist had done so before, and had succeeded in this way, which must encourage him to take the same course again; see ( Psalms 32:5 ) ;

and my sin [is] ever before me;
staring him in the face; gnawing upon his conscience, and filling him with remorse and distress; so that his life was a burden to him: for though God had put away sin out of his own sight, so that he would not condemn him for it, and he should not die; notwithstanding as yet it was not caused to pass from David, or the guilt of it removed from his conscience.

Psalm 51:3 In-Context

1 Salmo di Davide, dato al capo de’ Musici; intorno a ciò che il profeta Natan venne a lui, dopo ch’egli fu entrato da Bat-seba. ABBI pietà di me, o Dio, secondo la tua benignità; Secondo la moltitudine delle tue compassioni, cancella i miei misfatti.
2 Lavami molto e molto della mia iniquità, E nettami del mio peccato.
3 Perciocchè io conosco i miei misfatti, E il mio peccato è del continuo davanti a me.
4 Io ho peccato contro a te solo, Ed ho fatto quello che ti dispiace; Io lo confesso, acciocchè tu sii riconosciuto giusto nelle tue parole, E puro ne’ tuoi guidicii.
5 Ecco, io sono stato formato in iniquità; E la madre mia mi ha conceputo in peccato.
