The Bible does not give the name of David’s mother. David makes reference to his mother in this Psalm.

Psalm 51:1 Have mercy on me, God, according to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
²Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity.
    Cleanse me from my sin.
³For I know my transgressions.
    My sin is constantly before me.
⁴Against you, and you only, I have sinned,
    and done that which is evil in your sight,
so you may be proved right when you speak,
    and justified when you judge.
⁵Behold, I was born in iniquity.
    My mother conceived me in sin.
⁶Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts.
    You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
⁷Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean.
    Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
⁸Let me hear joy and gladness,
    that the bones which you have broken may rejoice.
⁹Hide your face from my sins,
    and blot out all of my iniquities.
¹⁰Create in me a clean heart, O God.
    Renew a right spirit within me.
¹¹Don’t throw me from your presence,
    and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me.
¹²Restore to me the joy of your salvation.
    Uphold me with a willing spirit.
¹³Then I will teach transgressors your ways.
    Sinners will be converted to you.
¹⁴Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, the God of my salvation.
    My tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.
¹⁵Lord, open my lips.
    My mouth will declare your praise.
¹⁶For you don’t delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it.
    You have no pleasure in burnt offering.
¹⁷The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit.
    O God, you will not despise a broken and contrite heart.

¹⁸Do well in your good pleasure to Zion.
Build the walls of Jerusalem.
¹⁹Then you will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness,
in burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings.
Then they will offer bulls on your altar.

6 But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down); 7 or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)” 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart;” that is, the word of faith which we preach: 9 that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart, one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him. 13 For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
