Psalms 51

¹Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.🔗🔍
²Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.🔗🔍
³For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.🔗🔍
⁴Against 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.🔗🔍
⁵Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.🔗🔍
⁶Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.🔗🔍
⁷Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.🔗🔍
⁸Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.🔗🔍
⁹Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.🔗🔍
¹⁰Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.🔗🔍
¹¹Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.🔗🔍
¹²Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.🔗🔍
¹³Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.🔗🔍
¹⁴Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.🔗🔍
¹⁵O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.🔗🔍
¹⁶For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.🔗🔍
¹⁷The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.🔗🔍
¹⁸Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.🔗🔍
¹⁹Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.🔗🔍
