The Book of Psalms

 

Chapter 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.

    
 
 

2.

 

Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

    
 
 

3.

 

For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin [is] ever before me.

    
 
 

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.

    
 
 

5.

 

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

    
 
 

6.

 

Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden [part] thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

    
 
 

7.

 

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

    
 
 

8.

 

Make me to hear joy and gladness; [that] the bones [which] thou hast broken may rejoice.

    
 
 

9.

 

Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

    
 
 

10.

 

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

    
 
 

11.

 

Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

    
 
 

12.

 

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me [with thy] free spirit.

    
 
 

13.

 

[Then] will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

    
 
 

14.

 

Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: [and] my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

    
 
 

15.

 

O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

    
 
 

16.

 

For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give [it]: thou delightest not in burnt offering.

    
 
 

17.

 

The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

    
 
 

18.

 

Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

    
 
 

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.
