Psalms 51:18

Psalms 51:18. Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

As much as though David said, "I have done great hurt to Zion, I have pulled down the walls of Jerusalem by my sin; now, Lord build them up again; undo the mischief which thy poor foolish servant has wrought by his backslidings." So may any backsliders amongst us pray to the Lord, "Visit thy Church so graciously, Lord, that my sin may not injure her!"
