51:10-13 David had already seen what happened when God removed his Spirit from King Saul-it was the beginning of his bitter downfall (1 Samuel 15-19). David wrote this psalm of repentance after he committed adultery with Bathsheba and then arranged for her husband's death (2 Samuel 11-12). On the surface, David's sins were far worse than Saul's. Why did God forgive David and offer him restoration? David was humble and broken about his sin. He admitted it and asked for 02 God's help and forgiveness. Saul was never willing to admit his sins; he continued in denial. If we try to hide or deny our sins, we are in grave danger of judgment. But if we are sensitive to our sins and humbly seek God's forgiveness, there is hope for us, no matter how great our past sins. God od will remove any taint of guilt and restore our joy.
