Psalms 51:1-2
Psalm 51
For the director of music. A psalm of David. When the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.
1Have mercy on me, O God,according to your unfailing love;according to your great compassionblot out my transgressions. David uses four pictures to describe the nature of forgiveness.
1) Mercy--The righteous judge pardons the guilty.
2) Blotting out--The author stains ink over an unwanted portion of text.
3) Washing--The housekeeper bleaches the linen to white.
4) Cleansing--The doctor purges away the festering filth of a wound.
In each picture, the loving God acts as the Forgiver, and David acts as the Sinner.

Psalms 51:1
Psalm 51
For the director of music. A psalm of David. When the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.
1Have mercy on me, O God,according to your unfailing love;according to your great compassionblot out my transgressions. David founds his cry for forgiveness on the very nature of God himself. If God is love, God will forgive. If God is merciful, He will provide. That David would make such a request to a holy, omnipotent God demonstrates his faith in the faithfulness of God. Where we fall short, God meets us there. Unlike ours, His character is one we can trust. As David cries out for pardon, he appeals to this: God's love is mighty and boundless.

Psalms 51
Psalm 51
For the director of music. A psalm of David. When the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.
1Have mercy on me, O God,according to your unfailing love;according to your great compassionblot out my transgressions. David founds his cry for forgiveness and freedom on the nature of God himself (1-2). He confesses his sin--not just his specific actions, but the very depth of his depravity--and acknowledges that it rightly offends the holy and just God (4-6). After confession, David crys out for God's purification--a foreshadowing to the Christ--and restoration to fellowship (7-9). David thens pleads for the Creator to work again within his soul (10-12). In response to God's grace, he commits himself to God's service under God's direction (13-17). In closing, David turns to pray for his city--a Godward heart desires the restoration of God's kingdom (17-19).
