Here in this Psalm David is crying out for forgiveness. What catches my attention is that he admits his own weakness, repents with tears(sincerity), and wishes nothing to do with evildoers. These three things are what is required if one is to truly repent. To repent, turn away, from sin in Christian terms means we have to admit we can't save ourselves, we have to really and truly feel remorse, and be willing to turn from evil and evildoers. David is doing that in this Psalm and it serves as an example to us as well.
On this Ash Wednesday, let us turn to God with hearts truly broken, repent, and begin this season of Lent seeking the will of the God who saves us.
