Have mercy upon me, O God, according to your lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of your tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
All Commentaries on Psalms 51:1 Go To Psalms 51
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849

Mercies. I stand in need of many sorts, mitigation of punishment, true sorrow and perseverance, and that I may make some amends for my bad example (Worthington)
