Psalms 51

Psalm 51^a

For the director of music. A psalm of David. When the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.

Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.

Create in Me a Clean Heart, O God

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

Have mercy on me,a O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
blot out my transgressions.

Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.

Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin!

For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.

For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.

Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight;
so you are right in your verdict
and justified when you judge.

Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you may be justified in your words
and blameless in your judgment.

Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me.

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

Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb;
you taught me wisdom in that secret place.

Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being,
and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.

Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

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

Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.

Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones that you have broken rejoice.

Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.

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

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

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

Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.

Cast me not away from your presence,
and take not your Holy Spirit from me.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with a willing spirit.

Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
so that sinners will turn back to you.

Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will return to you.

Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
you who are God my Savior,
and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.

Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God,
O God of my salvation,
and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.

Open my lips, Lord,
and my mouth will declare your praise.

O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.

You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.

For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;
you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.

My sacrifice, O God, isb a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart
you, God, will not despise.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

May it please you to prosper Zion,
to build up the walls of Jerusalem.

Do good to Zion in your good pleasure;
build up the walls of Jerusalem;

Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous,
in burnt offerings offered whole;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.

then will you delight in right sacrifices,
in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.
