Confession of Sin: should be Accompanied With: Prayer for Forgiveness

After David had numbered the troops, his conscience was stricken and he said to the LORD, “I have sinned greatly in what I have done. Now, O LORD, I beg You to take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have acted very foolishly.”

For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him after his adultery with Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your loving devotion; according to Your great compassion, blot out my transgressions.

Although our iniquities testify against us, O LORD, act for the sake of Your name. Indeed, our rebellions are many; we have sinned against You. …

We acknowledge our wickedness, O LORD, the guilt of our fathers; indeed, we have sinned against You.
