Psalms 51

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Purify me from my sins,c 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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