Psalm 51 begins a string of psalms written by King David. This on takes us back again to David's sin with Bathsheba.

In this psalm, David gives us a pattern for how we should pray when we've come to a place of repentance. What we should pray for in restoration, how we should ask for our desires to be changed, how we can move from broken fellowship to full worship.

David knew what he needed. He shows us in his prayer how to join him in that place of worship, where God can get the glory in our lives.
