A Humble Plea for Mercy and Cleansing

Psalms 51:1-6

Unto the end, understanding for David,

When Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul: David went to the house of Achimelech.

Why dost thou glory in malice, thou that art mighty in iniquity?

All the day long thy tongue hath devised injustice: as a sharp razor, thou hast wrought deceit.

Thou hast loved malice more than goodness: and iniquity rather than to speak righteousness.

Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, O deceitful tongue.
