And they will go to others and say,‘ I have sinned, I have perverted what is right, but I did not get what I deserved.

He will declare to his friends,‘ I sinned and twisted the truth, but it was not worth it.

He will look at men and say,“ I have sinned and perverted what was right; yet I did not get what I deserved.

He will sing to people and say,‘ I have sinned and perverted what is right, And it is not proper for me.

Then he looks at men and says,‘ I have sinned, and perverted what was right, And it did not profit me.’

He singeth before men, and saith, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, And it profited me not:

What benefit did you gain from doing the things you are now ashamed of? Those things lead to death!

Then David said to Nathan,“ I have sinned against the Lord.” Nathan replied,“ The Lord has taken away your sin. You aren’t going to die.

The Lord looks down from heaven on all people. He wants to see if there are any who understand. He wants to see if there are any who trust in God.

The law of the Lord is perfect. It gives us new strength. The laws of the Lord can be trusted. They make childish people wise.The rules of the Lord are right. They give joy to our hearts. The commands of the Lord shine brightly. They give light to our minds.

Admit that you are guilty of doing what is wrong. You have refused to obey me. I am the Lord your God. You have committed adultery with other gods. You worshiped them under every green tree. And you have not obeyed me,’ ” announces the Lord.

So he said to Moses,“ We have committed a very foolish sin. Please don’t hold it against us.

So the law is holy. The commandment also is holy and right and good.Did what is good cause me to die? Not at all! Sin had to be recognized for what it really is. So it used what is good to bring about my death. Because of the commandment, sin became totally sinful.We know that the law is holy. But I am not. I have been sold to be a slave of sin.

I will get up and go back to my father. I will say to him,“ Father, I have sinned against heaven. And I have sinned against you.I am no longer fit to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.” ’So he got up and went to his father.“ While the son was still a long way off, his father saw him. He was filled with tender love for his son. He ran to him. He threw his arms around him and kissed him.“ The son said to him,‘ Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer fit to be called your son.’“ But the father said to his servants,‘ Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.

Lord, you have seen what is in my heart. You know all about me.You know when I sit down and when I get up. You know what I’m thinking even though you are far away.You know when I go out to work and when I come back home. You know exactly how I live.Lord, even before I speak a word, you know all about it.

He asks,‘ What good is it to try to please God?’

If I’ve really sinned, tell me what I’ve done to you. You see everything we do. Why do you shoot your arrows at me? Have I become a problem to you?

She gave a name to the Lord who spoke to her. She called him“ You are the God who sees me.” That’s because she said,“ I have now seen the One who sees me.”

The Lord watches your ways. He studies all your paths.

The eyes of the Lord are everywhere. They watch those who are evil and those who are good.

What good is it if someone gains the whole world but loses their soul? Or what can anyone trade for their soul?

Anyone who hides their sins doesn’t succeed. But anyone who admits their sins and gives them up finds mercy.

“ But the tax collector stood farther away than the Pharisee. He would not even look up to heaven. He brought his hand to his heart and prayed. He said,‘ God, have mercy on me. I am a sinner.’

Who can hide in secret places so that I can’t see them?” announces the Lord.“ Don’t I fill heaven and earth?” announces the Lord.

The Lord is in his holy temple. The Lord is on his throne in heaven. He watches everyone on earth. His eyes study them.

The priests did not ask,‘ Where is the Lord?’ Those who taught my law did not know me. The leaders refused to obey me. The prophets prophesied in the name of Baal. They worshiped worthless statues of gods.

“ I have heard the groans of Ephraim’s people. They say,‘ You corrected us like a calf you were training. And we have been trained. Bring us back to you, and we will come back. You are the Lord our God.After we wandered away from you, we turned away from our sins. After we learned our lesson, we beat our chests in sorrow. We were full of shame. What we did when we were young brought dishonor on us.’

I consider all your rules to be right. So I hate every path that sinners take. Pe

Suppose you see poor people being mistreated somewhere. And what is being done to them isn’t right or fair. Don’t be surprised by that. One official is watched by a higher one. Officials who are even higher are watching both of them.

I do what I don’t want to do. So I agree that the law is good.

The Lord looks out over the whole earth. He gives strength to those who commit their lives completely to him. You have done a foolish thing. From now on you will be at war.”

Deep inside me I find joy in God’s law.
