Psalter for Late Pentecost, James Limburg, Texts in Context, Word & World,
Luther Seminary, 1992.
| "The psalm begins with a request for forgiveness. This
request is rooted in God's 'steadfast love' or hesed in Hebrew,
which is given classic definition in the story of Hosea's love for his
unfaithful wife (Hosea 1 - 3) and the picture of a parent's love for a
rebelling child (Hosea 11)." |

| "Penitence is a solidity of
character nurtured by action after action, insight after insight,
that consolidate the self in the terms of contrition...an emotion (I
call it contrition) is the centerpiece and moving force of the
process of repentance and the formation of a new self." |
