‘Putting on’ sackcloth in scripture is symbolic of the state of mourning a man would be in for his or a nations sin. Repenting for this fallen internal condition and outwardly confessing our need for God’s mercy and forgiveness brings the healing HE desires in our lives.
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; to the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
(Psalms 30:11-12)
