PSA 51:1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according

unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

PSA 51:2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

PSA 51:3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

PSA 51:4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy

sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when

thou judgest.

PSA 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive

me.

PSA 51:6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden

part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

PSA 51:7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be

whiter than snow.

PSA 51:8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast

broken may rejoice.

PSA 51:9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

PSA 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within

me.

PSA 51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit

from me.

PSA 51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy

free spirit.

PSA 51:13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be

converted unto thee.

PSA 51:14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation:

and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

PSA 51:15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

PSA 51:16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou

delightest not in burnt offering.

PSA 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite

heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

PSA 51:18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of

Jerusalem.

PSA 51:19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness,

with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks

upon thine altar.
