Answer 1

In the psalms of repentance, the most relevant contrast drawn is **the contrast between God’s character and humanity’s character**. These psalms often highlight God's mercy, forgiveness, and righteousness in contrast to human sinfulness, weakness, and the need for repentance. While other contrasts listed might appear in theological discussions broadly, the specific focus of psalms of repentance is on the relationship between God's character and human sin.
