Conscience for his Adultery and the Murder of Uriah

Of David. A Maskil. Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

A Psalm of David, for remembrance. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.

O LORD, do not withhold Your mercy from me; Your loving devotion and faithfulness will always guard me.

For evils without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed within me.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him after his adultery with Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your loving devotion; according to Your great compassion, blot out my transgressions.
