The Book of Psalms is a book of hymns and prayers which the people of Israel used in their worship of God. The psalms were composed by different authors and eventually collected into one book. 1K 3: King Solomon, son and successor of King David, is famous for his wisdom and wealth.

Psalm 51 (OT p. 676) is said to be the prayer of David after he realized that he had done great wrong. What sentiments does it express?
