Exegesis
The admission uses the Qal perfect chatati {חָטָאתִי | ḥāṭāʾtî} ‘I have sinned’ intensified by the adverb meʾod {מְאֹד | meʾōḏ} ‘greatly.’
Finally, ki {כִּי֙ | kî} ‘for’ introduces the Niphal perfect niskalti {נִסְכַּ֖לְתִּי | nissakaltî} ‘I acted foolishly’ with meʾod {מְאֹד | meʾōḏ} ‘greatly.’ The English rendering mirrors the Hebrew sequence—narrative marker, confession, entreaty, rationale—while smoothing transitions for clarity.
In context — 1 Chronicles 21:8
And David said to God , “I have sinned greatly by doing this thing. And now, please remove the guilt of Your servant, for I have acted very foolishly.”
