The Book of Psalms

 

Chapter 51

 

 

1.

 

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness: according to the multitude of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.

    
 
 

2.

 

Wash me thoroughly from my 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 mayest 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 my 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 to 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 to thee.

    
 
 

14.

 

Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, 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 show 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 to 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 thy altar.
