Psalm 32:5
I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I
will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgives the iniquity of
my sin. Selah.
Psalm 51:1-19
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him,
after he had gone in to Bathsheba.
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the
multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. [2] Wash me
thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. [3] For I acknowledge
my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. [4] Against thee, thee only,
have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified
when thou speaks, and be clear when thou judgest. [5] Behold, I was shaped in
iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. [6] Behold, thou desires truth
in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shall make me to know wisdom.
[7] Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter
than snow. [8] Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast
broken may rejoice. [9] Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine
iniquities. [10] Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit
within me. [11] Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit
from me. [12] Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy
free spirit. [13] Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be
converted unto thee. [14] Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my
salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. [15] O Lord,
open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. [16] For thou
desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt
offering. [17] The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a
contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. [18] Do good in thy good pleasure
unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. [19] Then shalt thou be pleased
with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt
offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
Psalm 139:23-24
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: [24] And see
if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Isaiah 55:7
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let
him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for
he will abundantly pardon.
Proverbs 28:13
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesses and forsakes
them shall have mercy.
Romans 14:11-12
For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and
every tongue shall confess to God. [12] So then every one of us shall give
account of himself to God.
James 5:16
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be
healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to
cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
