What does the Bible say about weeping for our sins?

We see in Scripture that weeping for our sins is a profound expression of repentance and a deep sense of mourning for our disobedience to God. As illustrated in Psalm 137, the Israelites sat by the rivers of Babylon, weeping for Zion and reflecting on their disobedience. Their tears were a result of realizing the blessings they had lost due to their sinful choices. In our own lives, recognizing our shortcomings and the spiritual desolation they bring can lead us to weep, which is an essential part of true repentance and an acknowledgment of our need for God's mercy.
