I am no preacher, but, am a prime sinner and living in this world in HIS mercy. For a sinner like me too, when I read “The Holy Bible” KJV,  the following verses were given in the context of “bethink”.

1 Kings 8:47 Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land
whither they were carried captives, and repent,
and make supplication unto thee in the land of them
that carried them captives, saying,
We have sinned,
and have done perversely,
we have committed wickedness;

1Ki 8:48 And  so return unto thee with all their heart,
and with all their soul,
in the land of their enemies,
which led them away captive,
and pray unto thee toward their land,
which thou gavest unto their fathers,
the city which thou hast chosen,
and the house which I have built for thy name:

1Ki 8:49 Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication
in heaven thy dwelling place,
and maintain their cause,

1Ki 8:50 And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee,
and all their transgressions
wherein they have transgressed against thee,
and give them compassion before them
who carried them captive,
that they may have compassion on them:

1Ki 8:51 For they  be thy people,
and thine inheritance,
which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt,
from the midst of the furnace of iron:

1Ki 8:52 That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant,
and unto the supplication of thy people Israel,
to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.

2 Chronicles 6:37 Yet if they bethink themselves in the land
whither they are carried captive, and turn
and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying,
We have sinned,
we have done amiss,
and have dealt wickedly;

2Ch 6:38 If they return to thee with all their heart
and with all their soul in the land of their captivity,
whither they have carried them captives,
and pray toward their land,
which thou gavest unto their fathers,
and toward the city which thou hast chosen,
and toward the house which I have built for thy name:

2Ch 6:39 Then hear thou from the heavens,
even from thy dwelling place,
their prayer and their supplications,
and maintain their cause,
and forgive thy people
which have sinned against thee.

About David Mathi Raj Samuel
I was engaged in the computer field since 1977, particularly in Documentation, Desktop Publishing & Training field since 1986. The design work provided me creative satisfaction and motivated me to look for more challenging activities. I was having a taste for Technical Writing. Presently, My SME (Subject-Matter Expert) is "The Holy Bible (KJV)" and publishing the "Subject" from the Holy Bible only. I am 69 years old now and in HIS mercy. 2022, I was admitted in the hospital due to nervous attack and bed-ridden. In the Hospital they did all the tests and gave up and said it can't be cured. Due to circumstances I was in a Home for Elders in Gurugram, India for 18 months with a 24X7 attendent. I prayed to God YeHoVaH to give me death or life to live to HIS glory. My prayers were heard, I was given life. I came out walking from the Home and witnessing the work of God every day. I am able to move alone now, Weakness and the pain in the body remains. From June 2024 onwards I returned to my routine and reading Holy Bible, Preparing daily Bible understanding , as I did earlier but with two fingers in Android and Notebook. Watering the plants, making kitchen compost, repotting the plants with fertilizer, manures, cow dung; bathing and dressing myself but buttoning is not possible. Pray for everyone that lives in my physical condition to be strengthened. YeHoVaH be pleased.
