I will punish their rebellion by beating them with a club, their sin by inflicting them with bruises.

They acted like fools in their rebellious ways, and suffered because of their sins.

By David; a well-written song. How blessed is the one whose rebellious acts are forgiven, whose sin is pardoned!

Deliver me from all my sins of rebellion! Do not make me the object of fools’ insults!

For I am aware of my rebellious acts; I am forever conscious of my sin.

Our record of sins overwhelms me, but you forgive our acts of rebellion.

As far as the eastern horizon is from the west, so he removes the guilt of our rebellious actions from us.

Condemn them, O God! May their own schemes be their downfall! Drive them away because of their many acts of insurrection, for they have rebelled against you.

Do not hold against me the sins of my youth or my rebellious acts! Because you are faithful to me, extend to me your favor, O Lord!

Moreover, keep me from committing flagrant sins; do not allow such sins to control me. Then I will be blameless, and innocent of blatant rebellion.

Then I confessed my sin; I no longer covered up my wrongdoing. I said, “I will confess my rebellious acts to the Lord.” And then you forgave my sins. (Selah)

For the music director; written by the Lord’s servant, David; an oracle. An evil man is rebellious to the core. He does not fear God,

For look, they wait to ambush me; powerful men stalk me, but not because I have rebelled or sinned, O Lord.

For the music director; a psalm of David, written when Nathan the prophet confronted him after David’s affair with Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, because of your loyal love! Because of your great compassion, wipe away my rebellious acts!
