Artist’s Statement: Psalm 51 is one of the penitential psalms that King David set to music.

All psalms praise the L-rd. They have remained popular readings throughout the ages because King David's themes were universal. He expressed the burden of humanity in his sacred testimonies.

Psalm 51, one of the most famous psalms, speaks of repentance and recovery. This image is an expression of the desire to have one's words of praise reach Adonai through authentic intention of kavanah.
