There’s a reason Psalm 51 is the best known of the Penitential Psalms and one of the best-loved psalms of all. It speaks to the deep pain we feel inside us when we sin, and then it shows us the mercy of God. His is the love of a Father who sees his child’s stricken face – washes the tears away – and then reaches inside to create in us “a clean heart;” to breathe “a new and right spirit” within us.
