The historical background for Psalm 51 thus is 2 Samuel 11-12. Psalm 51 is David's lament, where he cries out to God for deliverance from a life-threatening situation. The life-threatening situation is King David’s guilt over the taking of Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah. Psalm 51 is a heartfelt cry to God from one who has committed heinous sins against God.
