A penitential psalm (see on Psalm 32), written in the aftermath of David’s sin with Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11–12). “Create in me a pure heart” (v. 10) is a prayer we all would do well to pray constantly.
1. Psalm 51
(KJV)
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loveingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tener mercies blot out my transgressions.
