Psalms 51

Create in Me a Clean Heart, O God

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba.} Be gracious unto me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness; according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.

For the choir director: A psalm of David, regarding the time Nathan the prophet came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.

Have mercy on me, O God,
because of your unfailing love.
Because of your great compassion,
blot out the stain of my sins.

Wash me fully from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

Wash me clean from my guilt.
Purify me from my sin.

For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is continually before me.

For I recognize my rebellion;
it haunts me day and night.

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight; that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest.

Against you, and you alone, have I sinned;
I have done what is evil in your sight.
You will be proved right in what you say,
and your judgment against me is just.a

Behold, in iniquity was I brought forth, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

For I was born a sinner —
yes, from the moment my mother conceived me.

Behold, thou wilt have truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden [part] thou wilt make me to know wisdom.

But you desire honesty from the womb,b
teaching me wisdom even there.

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Purify me from my sins,c and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

Make me to hear gladness and joy; [that] the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

Oh, give me back my joy again;
you have broken me —
now let me rejoice.

Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

Don’t keep looking at my sins.
Remove the stain of my guilt.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Create in me a clean heart, O God.
Renew a loyal spirit within me.

Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not the spirit of thy holiness from me.

Do not banish me from your presence,
and don’t take your Holy Spiritd from me.

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and let a willing spirit sustain me.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and make me willing to obey you.

I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall return unto thee.

Then I will teach your ways to rebels,
and they will return to you.

Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

Forgive me for shedding blood, O God who saves;
then I will joyfully sing of your forgiveness.

Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare thy praise.

Unseal my lips, O Lord,
that my mouth may praise you.

For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.

You do not desire a sacrifice, or I would offer one.
You do not want a burnt offering.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit.
You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God.

Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem.

Look with favor on Zion and help her;
rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

Then shalt thou have sacrifices of righteousness, burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering; then shall they offer up bullocks upon thine altar.

Then you will be pleased with sacrifices offered in the right spirit —
with burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings.
Then bulls will again be sacrificed on your altar.
