Call Sin by Its Name
Commentators overwhelmingly highlight David's brutal honesty. He doesn't soften his sin by calling it a mistake; he calls it "bloodguiltiness." Scholars like Spurgeon and Barnes see this specific, unvarnished confession as a crucial mark of sincere repentance and a necessary step toward receiving God's pardon. True repentance avoids excuses and faces the full weight of sin.
