VIDUY / CONFESSION: HOW DO WE CONFESS OUR SINS ?

David’s response remains a prototype of confession and repentance. David’s lengthy confession and prayer to the God of Israel is recorded in Psalm / Tehillim 51.

Repentance must have serious thought, frank admission and verbal expression of how we have sinned and how we hope to improve in the future (ArtScroll Mesorah: Yom Kippur Ashkenaz Machzor, page 69)
