Book 19 Psalms Chapter 051
  | |
| 051:001 | Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.   |
| 051:002 | Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.   |
| 051:003 | For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.   |
| 051:004 | 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.   |
| 051:005 | Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.   |
| 051:006 | Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.   |
| 051:007 | Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.   |
| 051:008 | Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.   |
| 051:009 | Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.   |
| 051:010 | Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.   |
| 051:011 | Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.   |
| 051:012 | Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.   |
| 051:013 | Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.   |
| 051:014 | Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.   |
| 051:015 | O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.   |
| 051:016 | For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.   |
| 051:017 | The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.   |
| 051:018 | Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.   |
| 051:019 | 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. |
