Before Macbeth kills Duncan, the king, he is nervous and already feels guilty. You can best see this in the part (in Act II, Scene 1) where he has the vision of the bloody dagger. This clearly shows that he is uncertain about what he is about to do.
After he actually kills Duncan (Act II, Scene 2), he feels even more guilty. He believes that he has heard people accusing him of murder. He also finds that he cannot speak the word "amen" when he tries to pray. Both of these show the depth of his guilt.
