David's confession is regarded as a model for repentance in both Judaism and Christianity. [4] [5] [6] The Midrash Tehillim states that one who acknowledges that they have sinned and is fearful and prays to God about it, as David did, will be forgiven. However, one who tries to ignore their sin will be punished by God. [7]
David is depicted giving a penitential psalm in this 1860 woodcut by Julius Schnorr von Karolsfeld.
