Psalms 51:1-6 is an honest confession by David for luring Bathsheba to his bed and then killing her husband Uriah so he alone could have her. It is against you and you alone I sinned. Sexual sin and murder transgress the holiness and sacredness of life God created.
Psalms 51:1-6 (TLB) 1 O loving and kind God, have mercy. Have pity upon me and take away the awful stain of my transgressions. 2 Oh, wash me, cleanse me from this guilt. Let me be pure again. 3 For I admit my shameful deed—it haunts me day and night. 4 It is against you and you alone I sinned and did this terrible thing. You saw it all, and your sentence against me is just. 5 But I was born a sinner, yes, from the moment my mother conceived me. 6 You deserve honesty from the heart; yes, utter sincerity and truthfulness. Oh, give me this wisdom.
