When you fall off the roof

Psalm 51

When you fall off the roof

Psalm 51

When you fall off the roof

Psalm 51

When you fall off the roof

Psalm 51:1Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.

When you fall off the roof

2. Admit your sin and confess if fully to the Lord

Psalm 51:2-6

2 Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.

3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.

4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge.

5 Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.

6 Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place.

When you fall off the roof

3. Ask for, and receive by faith, forgiveness

and cleansing from your sin

Psalm 51:7-9

7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.

9 Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity.
