# Chapter 51
|
|
1 Have mercy upon me, O God,
|
|
According to Your lovingkindness;
|
|
According to the multitude of Your tender mercies,
|
|
Blot out my transgressions.
|
|
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
|
|
And cleanse me from my sin.
|
|
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions,
|
|
And my sin is always before me.
|
|
4 Against You, You only, have I sinned,
|
|
And done this evil in Your sight—
|
|
That You may be found just when You speak,
|
|
And blameless when You judge.
|
|
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
|
|
And in sin my mother conceived me.
|
|
6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
|
|
And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.
|
|
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
|
|
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
|
|
8 Make me hear joy and gladness,
|
|
That the bones You have broken may rejoice.
|
|
9 Hide Your face from my sins,
|
|
And blot out all my iniquities.
|
|
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
|
|
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
|
|
11 Do not cast me away from Your presence,
|
|
And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
|
|
12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
|
|
And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
|
|
13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,
|
|
And sinners shall be converted to You.
|
|
14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
|
|
The God of my salvation,
|
|
And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.
|
|
15 O Lord, open my lips,
|
|
And my mouth shall show forth Your praise.
|
|
16 For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it;
|
|
You do not delight in burnt offering.
|
|
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
|
|
A broken and a contrite heart—
|
|
These, O God, You will not despise.
|
|
18 Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion;
|
|
Build the walls of Jerusalem.
|
|
19 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. |
