Psalm 51:1-2
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin!
Lord, how You pack reminders of Your grace and mercy into two short sentences: Your mercy, Your steadfast love, blotting out my transgressions, washing away my iniquities, and cleansing me from my sin. To You be all glory and honor and power and dominion forever and ever.
