According to this psalm what are the indispensable conditions for enjoying the forgiveness of God? Cf. Prov 28:13. Answer: I am having trouble with “indispensable conditions.” Let me try essential circumstances. What is needed in the believer for him or her to enjoy the forgiveness from God? I still don’t see the answer to this question in this chapter. I see David saying that we are blessed to be forgiven and have our sins covered. I see David saying “when I try to hide my transgressions God “presses” on me to confess those sins. Let go of your sins and guilt and let God forgive and protect you.
What great blessings does the forgiven soul receive, filling the heart with joy? What conditions of their continued enjoyment are laid down? Are you fulfilling these conditions? Answer: The blessing is the covering of God, the Lord’s love surrounding us and protecting us. I am lost.
