Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 51:1-19

The title of this psalm, supported by the whole weight of rabbinical authority, and by the LXX, refers it to the repentance and recovery of David, “when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.” This application of the psalm has been disputed by some modern critics and commentators, chiefly because they think Psalms 51:4; Psalms 51:18-19, are not applicable to David’s complicated sin, and to the existing state of Jerusalem, whose walls were not then cast down.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 51:2

2. Wash me thoroughly Literally, multiply to wash, or wash me much, or many times. The word belongs to the fuller’s art of cleansing by treading with the feet, or scouring, and is intensive of thorough work, because of the difficulty of cleansing on account of deep stains. read more
