13 David then said to Nathan: “I have sinned against Jehovah.”+ Nathan replied to David: “Jehovah, in turn, forgives your sin.*+ You will not die.+

12 In his distress, he begged Jehovah his God for favor* and kept humbling himself greatly before the God of his forefathers. 13 He kept praying to Him, and He was moved by his entreaty and heard his request for favor, and He restored him to Jerusalem to his kingship.+ Then Ma·nasʹseh came to know that Jehovah is the true God.+

 3 When I kept silent, my bones wasted away because of my groaning all day long.+

I said: “I will confess my transgressions to Jehovah.”+

And you pardoned the error of my sins.+ (Selah)

51 Show me favor, O God, according to your loyal love.+

Blot out my transgressions according to your great mercy.+
