Psa 51:1 |
[[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.]] Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. |
  
  
|
Psa 51:2 |
Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. |
  
  
|

For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin [is] ever before me. |
  
  
|
Psa 51:4 |
Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done [this] evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, [and] be clear when thou judgest. |
  
  
|
Psa 51:5 |
Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. |
  
  
|
Psa 51:6 |
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden [part] thou shalt make me to know wisdom. |
  
  
|
Psa 51:7 |
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. |
  
  
|
Psa 51:8 |
Make me to hear joy and gladness; [that] the bones [which] thou hast broken may rejoice. |
  
  
|
Psa 51:9 |
Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. |

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. |
  
  
|
Psa 51:11 |
Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. |
  
  
|
Psa 51:12 |
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me [with thy] free spirit. |
  
  
|

[Then] will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. |
  
  
|
Psa 51:14 |
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: [and] my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. |
  
  
|
Psa 51:15 |
O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. |
  
  
|
Psa 51:16 |
For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give [it]: thou delightest not in burnt offering. |
  
  
|
Psa 51:17 |
The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. |
  
  
|
Psa 51:18 |
Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. |
  
  
|
Psa 51:19 |
Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar. |
