'Guilt' in the Bible
Then I acknowledged my sin to Youand did not conceal my iniquity.I said,“I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”and You took away the guilt of my sin.Selah
Turn Your face away from my sinsand blot out all my guilt.
Save me from the guilt of bloodshed, God,the God of my salvation,and my tongue will sing of Your righteousness.
Add guilt to their guilt;do not let them share in Your righteousness.
Yet He was compassionate;He atoned for their guiltand did not destroy them.He often turned His anger asideand did not unleash all His wrath.
You took away Your people’s guilt;You covered all their sin.Selah
Let his ancestors’ guiltbe remembered before the Lord,and do not let his mother’s sin be blotted out.
