Psalm 51:3

3 Pues reconozco mis rebeliones;
día y noche me persiguen.

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 51
Para el director del coro: salmo de David, cuando el profeta Natán fue a verlo después que cometió adulterio con Betsabé.
Ten misericordia de mí, oh Dios,
debido a tu amor inagotable;
a causa de tu gran compasión,
borra la mancha de mis pecados.

2 Lávame de la culpa hasta que quede limpio
y purifícame de mis pecados.

3 Pues reconozco mis rebeliones;
día y noche me persiguen.

4 Contra ti y sólo contra ti he pecado;
he hecho lo que es malo ante tus ojos.
Quedará demostrado que tienes razón en lo que dices
y que tu juicio contra mí es justo.

5 Pues soy pecador de nacimiento,
así es, desde el momento en que me concibió mi madre.
