Psalm 51 Confession

by: Sam Hargreaves

This is a mix of parts of Psalm 51 from both the TNIV and the Message. It is designed to be said out loud together as a corporate confession, but it could also be used as a silent reflection. You may wish to give people time before hand to silently allow God to search their heart for any particular thing they need to confess. It ought also to move into something which proclaims forgiveness - an absolution prayer or an appropriate song.

Great . Used this a few weeks' ago at our morning services . The sermon was on Nehemiah 9 , where the Israelite people spent a quarter of the day in confession & worship ! So it was really appropriate . Thanks , Sam

I'm planning to use this in a session all about Jesus' encounter with Pilate - it looks like it will fit really well, so thanks!

Thank you so much for this - we are doing a service in the psalms and this is perfect - will set it to backing of 'The Sixteen' singing Misere Mei - for silent reflection.

I see the Psalm 51 Confession box with the author's name under it, but I don't see a way to access the prayer. I don't see a link to click on?
