הרבה [הֶ֭רֶב] כַּבְּסֵ֣נִי מֵעֲוֺנִ֑י וּֽמֵחַטָּאתִ֥י טַהֲרֵֽנִי׃
Hugasan Mo akong lubusan mula sa aking kasamaan, at linisin Mo ako mula sa aking kasalanan.
Tzidkat HaTzadik
Teshuva is that by repenting, a person acknowledges that everything is operated by God and that even before a thought has arisen in a person's heart, God has already given them the power to repent. As the Sages say, God gives the person the strength to turn away from sin and, through complete repentance, their sins are transformed into merits, as this was also God's will. As it is written in the Talmud (Shabbat 89b), "If your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow" (Isaiah 1:18).
Furthermore, the Sages teach that through a wondrous act, God will transform the sins of the wicked into merits. This is similar to King David's prayer, "So that You may be justified in Your words" (Psalms 51:4). By taking away the person's inclination to sin, their sins are effectively transformed into merits, as this was also God's will.
The Sages also teach that in the future, after complete repentance, everyone will recognize the full extent of God's kingdom, and the sins that were deviations from the path of justice will be seen as acts of kindness, as they were not deviations from the true will of God.
Additionally, the Sages distinguish between two levels of righteousness in a person: the righteous and the pious. In the future, after complete repentance, the sins that were deviations from the path of justice will be seen as acts of kindness, as they were not deviations from the true will of God. The righteous and the pious are two different levels within a person, and they correspond to two different forces in the upper worlds. Although these forces are mixed within each person, they are not equal, and one may dominate the other. And there is much more to say in this matter but this is not the place.
