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.

A Prayer of Repentance

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

Have mercy upon me, O God,
According to Your lovingkindness;
According to the multitude of Your tender mercies,
Blot out my transgressions.

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

Wash me thoroughly from my 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 always 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 You, You only, have I sinned,
And done this evil in Your sight —
That You may be found just [a]when You speak,
And blameless when You judge.

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

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
And in sin my mother conceived me.

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

Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
And in the hidden part You will 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 hear joy and gladness,
That the bones You have broken may rejoice.

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

Hide Your face from my sins,
And blot out all my 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.

Do not cast me away from Your presence,
And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.

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

Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.

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

Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,
And sinners shall be converted to You.

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

Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
The God of my salvation,
And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.

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

O Lord, open my lips,
And my mouth shall show forth Your praise.

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

For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it;
You do not delight 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 —
These, O God, You will not despise.

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

Do good in Your good pleasure to 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 You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness,
With burnt offering and whole burnt offering;
Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar.
