Timothy Wayne George's comment on 2012-08-03 04:55:42:

It has been said that this Psalm is an addendum to Psalm 51 where David is crying out to God for the sin of adultery, and murder that he had committed. Night, and day the Lord dealt with him, until he confessed his sin to God. All sin is against God, and therefore confession must be made to him in order to be forgiven. Then David says blessed is the one to who sin is not imputed, and this is done because Jesus who knew no sin was made sin for us on the cross. May the risen Lord give you the grace to accept his forgiveness, and the power to live a life of holiness by the power of the Holy Spirit.
