Psalm of David, after his sin with Bathsheba
Miserere mei Deus,
misericordiam secundum magnam tuam.
multitudinem Et secundum tuarum miserationum
give iniquitatem meam.
amplius iniquitate mea lava me ab,
to Peccato et meo munda me.
Mercy, my God ,
by your great compassion
delete my account,
washing my crime,
cleanse my sin.
committed the sin, not defend, draw near to confess, not to defend him. Do you show as an advocate for your sin?, Will be defeated, since it has a lawyer innocent will harm your defense. Who are you to defend yourself? Only you are qualified to accuse. Do not say I did not do or what I have committed a serious crime, or: Others did.
Yes, making the sin, you say you did nothing, nothing and nothing you will receive. God is willing to grant you forgiveness, you will close the door. He're willing to grant it, do not put a barrier of defense, open the lap of the confession.
St. Augustine of Hippo
