And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against Jehovah. And Nathan said to David, Jehovah also has put away your sin; you shall not die.

And David's heart was smitten after he had numbered the people. So David said to Jehovah, I have sinned greatly in what I have done; but now, I pray, O Jehovah, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly.

Then he observes men and says, I have sinned, and perverted what was right; and it has not been equaled to me.

He who covers his sins shall not prosper; but he who confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us.

And now behold, we are in your hands; do with us as seems good and right in your eyes to do.

And Samuel told him the matter, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is Jehovah. Let Him do what is good in His eyes.

Be strong, and let us be courageous for our people and for the cities of our God. And may Jehovah do what is good in His eyes.

But if He says thus: I have not delighted in you, then behold, here am I, let Him do to me as is good in His eyes.

And I said, I am cast off from Your sight; yet I will again look to Your holy temple.

Who knows if God may turn, and have compassion, and turn away from His burning anger, that we not perish?

And David said to Gad, I am in great distress. Let us fall now into the hand of Jehovah, for His mercies are great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man.

For has anyone said to the Mighty God, I have endured; I will offend no more;

teach me what I do not see; if I have done injustice, I will do no more?
