Psalm 51:1

For the choir director. A Psalm of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

Be gracious to me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness;

According to the abundance of Your compassion blot out my transgressions.

Psalm 51:3

For I know my transgressions,

And my sin is ever before me.

Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;

Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
