Chapter 51

1


 

  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. 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, 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.  

 

 


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 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.  

 

 


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.
