You'll really be shocked if you try to place Jesus in place of David in the psalms
But the Psalms isn't about Jesus or David but David echoes in it sometimes like you would hear a ghost crying out in the night..it's a song of David ..it's not wholeheartedly about Jesus but some parts you can hear him speak in it

So if a person has the holy spirit and truth in thier heart but no love for being bitter and broken angry at the world how can that person preach truth without no more love in thier heart but really is geniune but don't feel geniune because they have bitterness in thier heart now and thier heart feel empty and condemned all the time in thier consience?
Sister, God can heal a broken heart. A broken heart and a contrite spirit He will not despise. I prayed Psalm 51:10 over my life for many years after my husband died because I became bitter and angry.
Psalm 34:18
The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit.
Psalm 147:3
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
Psalm 51
A Prayer of Repentance
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.
1Have mercy upon me, O God,
According to Your lovingkindness;
According to the multitude of Your tender mercies,
Blot out my transgressions.
2Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
And cleanse me from my sin.

3For I acknowledge my transgressions,
And my sin is always before me.
4Against You, You only, have I sinned,
And done this evil in Your sight—
That You may be found just [a]when You speak,
And blameless when You judge.

5Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
And in sin my mother conceived me.
6Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.

7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8Make me hear joy and gladness,
That the bones You have broken may rejoice.
9Hide Your face from my sins,
And blot out all my iniquities.

10Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

11Do not cast me away from Your presence,
And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.

12Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
13Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,
And sinners shall be converted to You.

14Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
The God of my salvation,
And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.
15O Lord, open my lips,
And my mouth shall show forth Your praise.
16For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it;
You do not delight in burnt offering.
17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
A broken and a contrite heart—
These, O God, You will not despise.


18Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion;
Build the walls of Jerusalem.
19Then You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness,
With burnt offering and whole burnt offering;
Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar.

It's complicated.if I told you..you probably would be confused now..maybe later you will understand
I believe the problem is with new converts is they are self centered, but that's ok eventually you'll be Christ centered and the problems in this life will diminish..... And I don't mean for this to be condemning.

Whatever situation caused you feel this way was a plan of satan....He wants to kill, steal and destroy God's people. You are following along with his plan and the final phase of it is destruction if you continue to harbor bitterness.....Would you consider giving all that anger, hurt, bitterness to God and let Him heal you and replace it with Joy, Love and Peace?

Because I feel condemned by it
Jenny: You are then condemned by the truth as you read and believe in the word of God? Now this condemnation might be a spiritual condition you are sensing and for the first time realizing the word as truly being the truth of God and this precious truth now affects your heart and being. You are not necessarily condemned by God. Maybe you are condemning yourself prematurely and needlessly. When I first realized the truth in his word, I was condemned to a certain degree by things I read. This truth went straight into my heart. And yes I was troubled over what I read in scripture and new areas for the first time. I would worry about my imperfections and my bad deeds etc. I knew I was saved but some of the scripture seem to suggest I was still inadequate..etc.. You know the Spirit might be pointing these areas out for a purpose. If this is your similar experience it will pass as it is the Spirit convincing you about the truth and to live by it. It will teach you over time. Maybe being in prayer and being with another believer to share can be very beneficial.

Bless you,

APAK
