Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

Psalms 51 Study & Commentary
Psalm 51 is David’s great confession after his sin with Bathsheba. He cries for mercy, asks for a clean heart, and pleads for the Holy Spirit not to be taken from him.
CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS
1. Total Forgiveness: "Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow" (v. 7). No sin is too deep for God’s cleansing grace.2. A Broken Heart: The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit and a contrite heart (v. 17). God values humility over religious performance.
