Apologising

Saying it plainly, without the word "but" anywhere in it.

Psalm 51 · Create in Me a Clean Heart

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”Psalm 51:10 · BSB

More psalms for when you feel apologising

Apologising sits in the Saying Sorry psalms — 7 of the 150 in all. See every one.

Someone in the Bible felt this too

The Prodigal SonLuke 15:11–32He rehearses his apology all the way home and never gets to finish it — the welcome arrives first.
The Woman Brought to JesusJohn 8:1–11"Neither do I condemn you. Go now and leave your life of sin." Both halves, in that order.

Not quite the right word?
