What I'm trying to do is carefully correct some fundamental misunderstandings about the Psalms in how they address sin and curse. These Psalms are candid confessions of human experience, spoken in fervent prayer and profound meditation. As the conflict rises, they are spoken loudly, as if fighting a continual war. Some Psalms are laboriously written to be shouted as a battle cry. There are 7 penitent Psalms. In my experience of 40 successful years, there is only one that properly teaches candid confession of moral sin in the orthodox way. The other 6 justly complain of suffering physically and spiritually.The Psalms make it clear that there are no right or wrong steps to take in order to address pressing issues—God just wants to hear our active struggles. This gives us the confidence to address these issues ourselves, knowing that our moral sin isn't necessarily a factor.Ps 5 7 But I, by your great mercy, will come into your house;in reverence will I bow down toward your holy temple."What always drives our approach to God is His unfailing love. This love is the moral foundation of everything we do in petitioning Him, and it is not simply confessing our sins. Throughout the Psalms, we see that a successful appeal to God is based on this moral foundation. His unfailing love is expressed as His divine mercy, long suffering, gentleness, familiar kindness, and generous forgiveness. All covenant promises that work as legal justification are accepted in His frequent presence. The covenant language is rigorously defined by His unfailing love.4Turn, O LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love.-{ covenant love}44 26 Rise up and help us; redeem us because of your unfailing love."What God's unfailing love creates is a history of face-to-face interaction, supported by the extensive history of answered petitions. This interaction starts small, with battles, but increases as we trust more in face-to-face interaction. Psalm 103 carefully teaches the saints how to confess their sins, not as a frequent complaint or a curse. In the other penitents, there is an eternal curse. 6 2 Be merciful to me, LORD , for I am faint; O LORD , heal me, for my bones are in agony. 3 My soul is in anguish."he is complaining about a physical injury and sin. But he curses the wicked blame. 10 All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace. Again in 38 3 Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; my bones have no soundness because of my sin.4 My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear." he justly complains about a physical injury and his possible sin. But he curses again.16 For I said, "Do not let them gloat or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips." Stop them so I will not suffer. And you typically see in the other Penitents.103 1 Praise the LORD, O my soul;all my inmost being, praise his holy name.2 Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits-3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, 5 who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's."This is a candid confession from a considered saint. There is no complaining or cursing. God does not count our sins against us. "As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us." Therefore, God does not require any essential steps for us to triumphantly enter His divine presence. We confess candidly because God has already taken care of our sin. We confess to present petitions in His unfailing love. This whole Psalm is a realistic general teaching of what is exhaustively stated throughout the Psalms.
