I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.

In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

 El pastor habla sobre cómo sentir la presencia de Dios y confiar en su guía y protección, incluso en momentos de sentirse perdido y abandonado.

El Salmo 51 es un relato sobre el arrepentimiento de David y el perdón divino.

David grita

For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
