'Sin' in the Bible

Tremble, and do not sin;Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

A Psalm of David. A Maskil.How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,Whose sin is covered!

When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted awayThrough my groaning all day long.

I acknowledged my sin to You,And my iniquity I did not hide;I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord”;And You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation;There is no health in my bones because of my sin.

For I confess my iniquity;I am full of anxiety because of my sin.

For the choir director, for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.I said, “I will guard my waysThat I may not sin with my tongue;I will guard my mouth as with a muzzleWhile the wicked are in my presence.”

Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired;My ears You have opened;Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required.

Wash me thoroughly from my iniquityAnd cleanse me from my sin.

For I know my transgressions,And my sin is ever before me.

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,And in sin my mother conceived me.

For behold, they have set an ambush for my life;Fierce men launch an attack against me,Not for my transgression nor for my sin, O Lord,

On account of the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips,Let them even be caught in their pride,And on account of curses and lies which they utter.

Yet they still continued to sin against Him,To rebel against the Most High in the desert.

You forgave the iniquity of Your people;You covered all their sin. Selah.

When he is judged, let him come forth guilty,And let his prayer become sin.

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord,And do not let the sin of his mother be blotted out.

Your word I have treasured in my heart,That I may not sin against You.
