Psalm 51
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.
1 – Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.
2 – Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin!
3 – For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.
4 – Against you, you only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight, so that you are justified in your sentence and blameless in your judgment.
5 – Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 – Behold, you desire truth in the inward being; therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.
7 – Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 – Fill me with joy and gladness; let the bones which you have broken rejoice.
9 – Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
10 – Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me.
11 – Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your holy Spirit from me.
12 – Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.
13 – Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you.
14 – Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of your deliverance.
15 – O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall show forth your praise.
16 – For you have no delight in sacrifice; were I to give a burnt offering, you would not be pleased.
17 – The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
18 – Do good to Zion in your good pleasure; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem,
19 – then will you delight in right sacrifices, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on your altar.
