What does the Bible say about mercy in Psalm 51?

Answered in 2 sources

Psalm 51 emphasizes the necessity of divine mercy for the forgiveness of sins.

In Psalm 51, David pleads for God's mercy, acknowledging that he has no claim to it based on his own righteousness. He asks God to have mercy upon him according to His lovingkindness, highlighting the biblical understanding that mercy is a sovereign act of grace from God rather than something we earn. The psalm represents a genuine sinner's prayer that recognizes human inability and the need for God's intervention to cleanse and restore.
