Davide penitente K. 469 is a cantata by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to texts by Saverio Mattei. The cantata was commissioned by the Wiener Tonkünstler-Societät and first performed on 13 March 1785 in the Vienna Burgtheater. Most of the music is derived from the unfinished Great Mass in C minor K. 427 (1782–83) although two arias and a cadenza for the last movement were newly composed for the work.
