Psalm 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.} Be gracious unto me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness; according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.DBY — Psalm 51:1

2 Wash me fully from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.DBY — Psalm 51:2

3 For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is continually before me.DBY — Psalm 51:3

4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight; that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest.DBY — Psalm 51:4

5 Behold, in iniquity was I brought forth, and in sin did my mother conceive me.DBY — Psalm 51:5

6 Behold, thou wilt have truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden [part] thou wilt make me to know wisdom.DBY — Psalm 51:6

7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.DBY — Psalm 51:7

8 Make me to hear gladness and joy; [that] the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.DBY — Psalm 51:8

9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.DBY — Psalm 51:9

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.DBY — Psalm 51:10

11 Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not the spirit of thy holiness from me.DBY — Psalm 51:11

12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and let a willing spirit sustain me.DBY — Psalm 51:12

13 I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall return unto thee.DBY — Psalm 51:13

14 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.DBY — Psalm 51:14

15 Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare thy praise.DBY — Psalm 51:15

16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.DBY — Psalm 51:16

17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.DBY — Psalm 51:17

18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem.DBY — Psalm 51:18

19 Then shalt thou have sacrifices of righteousness, burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering; then shall they offer up bullocks upon thine altar.DBY — Psalm 51:19
