Psalms 51
51
For the Music Director. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the Prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.
1Have mercy on me, O God,
according to Your lovingkindness;
according to the abundance of Your compassion,
blot out my transgressions. # Isa 43:25; Ac 3:19
2Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, # Ps 51:7; Rev 1:5
and cleanse me from my sin. # 1Jn 1:9
3For I acknowledge my transgressions, # Ps 32:5; Isa 59:12
and my sin is ever before me.
4Against You, You only, have I sinned,
and done what is evil in Your sight, # Ge 20:6; Lk 15:21
so that You are justified when you speak,
and blameless when You pass judgment.
5Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, # Job 14:4; Ps 58:3
and in sin my mother conceived me.
6Behold, You desire truth in the inward being, # Job 38:36
and in my secret heart You will teach me wisdom.
7Purge me with hyssop, # Heb 9:19 and I shall be clean;
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. # Isa 1:18
8Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones that You have broken rejoice.
9Hide Your face from my sins,
and blot out all my iniquities. # Jer 16:17
10Create in me a clean heart, O God, # Mt 5:8; Ac 15:9
and renew a right spirit within me.
11Cast me not away from Your presence, # 2Ki 13:23
and take not Your Holy Spirit from me. # Eph 4:30
12Restore unto me the joy of Your salvation, # Ps 13:5
and uphold me with Your willing spirit.
13Then will I teach transgressors Your ways, # Lk 22:32
and sinners will return to You.
14Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, # 2Sa 12:9
O God of my salvation,
and my tongue will sing aloud of Your righteousness. # Ps 35:28
15O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare Your praise.
16For You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;
You do not delight in burnt offering. # Ps 40:6
17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and a contrite heart, # Ps 34:18
O God, You will not despise.
18Do good to Zion in Your good pleasure; # Ps 102:16
build the walls of Jerusalem.
19Then You will be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, # Ps 4:5
with burnt offering and whole burnt offering;
then bulls will be offered on Your altar.
