Read Psalms 51:2&3  We found out yesterday that David had sinned and that God had told Nathan the prophet to go to him and let to him know that he was not going to get away with his sin.  When someone, like Nathan the prophet, comes to us and shows us that we have done wrong, we have 2 choices:  We can lie about our sin and try to get out of it, or we can admit that we have sinned and ask forgiveness for our wrong.  If we try to get out of our sin, we are just going to get into more trouble.  If we lie about our sin, we still have our sin and the lie we told to try to cover up for our sin.  It is never a good idea to lie about our sin.  It is much better to admit that we are wrong and to ask forgiveness.  When we admit our sin, it is as if God is washing us in His bathtub.  David said that his sin was open and before him all the time.  He couldn't stop thinking about it.  But verse 2 says that David wanted God to wash him and to clean him up from his dirty sins.  Isn't it good to feel God's washing forgiveness when we admit our sin?
