(Selah)

Shout for joy, all you who are morally upright!

• Psalm 38:5-8: My wounds are infected and starting to smell, because of my foolish sins. I am dazed and completely humiliated; all day long I walk around mourning.

• Psalm 38:9-12: O Lord, you understand my heart's desire; my groaning is not hidden from you. My heart beats quickly; my strength leaves me; I can hardly see. Because of my condition, even my friends and acquaintances keep their distance; my neighbors stand far away. Those who seek my life try to entrap me; those who want to harm me speak destructive words; all day long they say deceitful things.
  
  
• Psalm 38:13-16: But I am like a deaf man - I hear nothing; I am like a mute who cannot speak. I am like a man who cannot hear and is incapable of arguing his defense. Yet I wait for you, O LORD! You will respond, O Lord, my God! I have prayed for deliverance, because otherwise they will gloat over me; when my foot slips they will arrogantly taunt me.
  
  
• Psalm 38:17-20: For I am about to stumble, and I am in constant pain. Yes, I confess my wrongdoing, and I am concerned about my sins.

They repay me evil for the good I have done; though I have tried to do good to them, they hurl accusations at me.
  
  
• Psalm 38:21-22: Do not abandon me, O LORD! My God, do not remain far away from me! Hurry and help me, O Lord, my deliverer!

• Psalm 51:3-6: For I am aware of my rebellious acts; I am forever conscious of my sin. Against you - you above all - I have sinned; I have done what is evil in your sight. So you are just when you confront me; you are right when you condemn me. Look, I was guilty of sin from birth, a sinner the moment my mother conceived me. Look, you desire integrity in the inner man; you want me to possess wisdom.
  
  
• Psalm 51:7-10: Sprinkle me with water and I will be pure; wash me and I will be whiter than snow. Grant me the ultimate joy of being forgiven! May the bones you crushed rejoice! Hide your face from my sins! Wipe away all my guilt! Create for me a pure heart, O God! Renew a resolute spirit within me!
  
  
• Psalm 51:11-12: Do not reject me! Do not take your Holy Spirit away from me! Let me again experience the joy of your deliverance! Sustain me by giving me the desire to obey!

• Psalm 51:15-17: O Lord, give me the words! Then my mouth will praise you. Certainly you do not want a sacrifice, or else I would offer it; you do not desire a burnt sacrifice. The sacrifices God desires are a humble spirit - O God, a humble and repentant heart you will not reject.
  
  
• Psalm 51:18-19: Because you favor Zion, do what is good for her! Fortify the walls of Jerusalem! Then you will accept the proper sacrifices, burnt sacrifices and whole offerings; then bulls will be sacrificed on your altar.
  
  
• Psalm 130:1-4: From the deep water I cry out to you, O LORD. O Lord, listen to me! Pay attention to my plea for mercy! If you, O LORD, were to keep track of sins, O Lord, who could stand before you? But you are willing to forgive, so that you might be honored.
  
  
• Psalm 130:5-8: I rely on the LORD, I rely on him with my whole being; I wait for his assuring word. I yearn for the Lord, more than watchmen do for the morning, yes, more than watchmen do for the morning. O Israel, hope in the LORD, for the LORD exhibits loyal love, and is more than willing to deliver. He will deliver Israel from all the consequences of their sins.
