Psalms 51O God, A Prayer Of Repentance
To The Chief Musician, A Psalm of David, When Nathan The Prophet, Came Unto Him, After He Had Gone In To Bathsheba
King James Version
1 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,according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies
blot out my transgressions.
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.
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 tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
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.
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.
then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
Create In Me A Clean Heart
