My translation of Psalm 51:

I suck repeatedly, but God loves me regardless. I’ll trust in His Love despite my performance, and despite my own constantly increasing insight into my own stupidity! Amen.

(this again is the poem he wrote after he slept with another man’s wife, and then had the man, basically killed)

Combined with David’s other great poem (139), the true “song of myself from God’s perspective” (how to celebrate identity while not being egotistical!)—which restates as:
Wow God everything you made is amazing, i must be also amazing, as we are your best poetry.

From those two songs together, you get a good sense of how confession and being loved work in tandem!

How to say, i suck, and yet, i’m also royal somehow, included in the conversation between the Son and His Father……
