Psalm 50 LXX

For the End: A Psalm of David. When Nathan the
Prophet Came unto Him. When He Went in unto
Bersabee, the Wife of Urias.


Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy;
and according to the multitude of Thy compassions blot
out my transgression.
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me
from my sin.
For I know mine iniquity, and my sin is ever before me.
Against Thee only have I sinned and done this evil before
Thee, that Thou mightest be justified in Thy words, and
prevail when Thou art judged.
For behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did
my mother bear me.
For behold, Thou hast loved truth; the hidden and secret
things of Thy wisdom hast Thou made manifest unto me.
Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be made
clean; Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter
than snow.
Thou shalt make me to hear joy and gladness; the bones
that be humbled, they shall rejoice.
Turn Thy face away from my sins, and blot out all mine
iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right
spirit within me.
Cast me not away from Thy presence, and take not Thy
Holy Spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation, and with Thy
governing Spirit establish me.
I shall teach transgressors Thy ways, and the ungodly
shall turn back unto Thee.
Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, Thou God of my
salvation; my tongue shall rejoice in Thy righteousness.
O Lord, Thou shalt open my lips, and my mouth shall
declare Thy praise.
For if Thou hadst desired sacrifice, I had given it; with
whole-burnt offerings Thou shalt not be pleased.
A sacrifice unto God is a broken spirit; a heart that is
broken and humbled God will not despise.
Do good, O Lord, in Thy good pleasure unto Sion, and let
the walls of Jerusalem be builded.
Then shalt Thou be pleased with a sacrifice of
righteousness, with oblation and whole-burnt offerings.
Then shall they offer bullocks upon Thine altar.​
