Psalms 51 KJV

¹To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Bathsheba David Nathan God

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. God

¹¹Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Holy Spirit

¹²Restore 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.

¹⁴Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: [and] my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. God

¹⁵O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. God

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. God

¹⁸Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. Jerusalem Zion

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.
