For the music director; a psalm of David, written when Nathan the prophet confronted him after David’s affair with Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, because of your loyal love! Because of your great compassion, wipe away my rebellious acts!
Wash away my wrongdoing! Cleanse me of my sin!
For I am aware of my rebellious acts; I am forever conscious of my sin.
