Is it not i

David said to God, “I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing. But now, please take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly.”

Then David spoke to the Lord when he saw the angel who was striking down the people, and said, “Behold, it is I who have sinned, and it is I who have done wrong; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let Your hand be against me and against my father’s house.”

Against You, You only, I have sinned

And done what is evil in Your sight,
So that You are justified when You speak
And blameless when You judge.

so that you may remember and be ashamed and never open your mouth anymore because of your humiliation, when I have forgiven you for all that you have done,” the Lord God declares.

These sheep

So he said,
“I saw all Israel
Scattered on the mountains,

Like sheep which have no shepherd.

And the Lord said, ‘These have no master.
Let each of them return to his house in peace.’”

You give us as sheep to be eaten
And have scattered us among the nations.

What have

Now again the anger of the Lord burned against Israel, and it incited David against them to say, “Go, number Israel and Judah.”

Let thine

Now, therefore, please let your servant remain instead of the lad a slave to my lord, and let the lad go up with his brothers.

But now, if You will, forgive their sin—and if not, please blot me out from Your book which You have written!”

“I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

For I could wish that I myself were accursed, separated from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh,

We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

On my father's

You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me,

Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised Me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.’

Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation;
Then my tongue will joyfully sing of Your righteousness.

‘And some of your sons who will issue from you, whom you will beget, will be taken away, and they will become officials in the palace of the king of Babylon.’”

That they should

that you must turn away this day from following the Lord? If you rebel against the Lord today, He will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel tomorrow.
