1 For the choir director. A psalm of David, when the prophet Nathan came to him after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great lovingkindness; according to the multitude of Your compassion, blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin, 3 for I acknowledge 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 that You are justified when You speak and blameless when You judge. 5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me. 6 Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, and in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom. 7 Purify 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 iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit.

Luke 15:11–24
11 He also said: A certain man had two sons; 12 and the younger of them said to his father, “Father, give me the share of the estate that belongs to me.” And the father divided the property between them. 13 Not many days later, the younger son gathered everything together and went to a distant country, where he squandered his property in reckless living. 14 When he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs. 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. 17 When he came to his senses, he said, “How many of my father’s hired servants have more than enough bread, and here I am dying of hunger! 18 I will arise, go to my father, and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, 19 and I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.” 20 So he arose and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran, fell on his neck, and kissed him. 21 The son said to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son.” 22 But the father said to his servants, “Bring out the best long robe and put it on him; put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it; let us eat and celebrate! 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.” And they began to celebrate.
Revelation 3:19
As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. Therefore be earnest and repent!
