What character traits does David use to describe God in these verses? How does David speak of himself in these verses? Do your feelings about yourself ever seem similar to David's?
Read Psalm 51:7-12. What does David want God to do for him?
In verse 12, David talks about the "joy of salvation". Have you ever experienced the joy of salvation? How would you describe it?
Have you ever had a time when you felt that God "restored" your relationship with Him? How did you respond?
Read Psalm 51:13-19. Verses 13-15 talk about how we respond after God forgives us. Do you think most Christians spend enough time telling others what God has done for them? Why or why not?
When God forgives our sins, what should we tell others about that experience? In your own words, how would you describe God's forgiveness?
