Lord, don’t hold back your tender mercies from me.
    Let your unfailing love and faithfulness always protect me.
12 For troubles surround me—
    too many to count!
My sins pile up so high
    I can’t see my way out.
They outnumber the hairs on my head.
    I have lost all courage. Psalm 40:11,12

What is the connection between sins and a loss of courage?

What’s the connection between troubles and sins?

I have not kept the good news of your justice hidden in my heart;
    I have talked about your faithfulness and saving power.
I have told everyone in the great assembly
    of your unfailing love and faithfulness. Psalm 40:10

Usually when we think of the “Goodn News” we are thinking of God’s grace. How is the justice of God good news?
