1“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after his intercourse with Bathsheba.” Be gracious unto me, O God! according to thy loving kindness; According to the greatness of thy mercy, 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 ever before me.
Psalms 51
