How does Psalm 51 reveal David’s inmost thoughts, and what does it teach us about Jehovah? The words of a song that King David thereafter composed reveal his heartfelt remorse.
وَإِذْ أَدْرَكَ دَاوُدُ خُطُورَةَ مَا ٱقْتَرَفَهُ ،‏ ٱعْتَرَفَ بِنَدَمٍ شَدِيدٍ :‏ « قَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ إِلَى يَهْوَهَ » .‏ —‏ ٢ صم ١٢ :‏ ​ ٥ -‏ ١٤‏ .‏
