During times when we wish to express repentance and especially during Lent, it is customary to pray the Seven Penitential Psalms and the Songs of the Suffering Servant. The penitential designation of these psalms dates from the seventh century. Prayerfully reciting these psalms will help us to recognize our sinfulness, express our sorrow and ask for God’s forgiveness.
