Psalms 51
World English Bible · public domain · whole chapter
1Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness.
2Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity.
3For I know my transgressions.
4Against you, and you only, I have sinned,
5Behold, I was born in iniquity.
6Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts.
7Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean.
8Let me hear joy and gladness,
9Hide your face from my sins,
10Create in me a clean heart, O God.
11Don’t throw me from your presence,
12Restore to me the joy of your salvation.
13Then I will teach transgressors your ways.
14Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, the God of my salvation.
15Lord, open my lips.
16For you don’t delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it.
17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit.
18Do well in your good pleasure to Zion.
19Then you will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness,
1Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness.
2Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity.
3For I know my transgressions.
4Against you, and you only, I have sinned,
5Behold, I was born in iniquity.
6Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts.
7Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean.
8Let me hear joy and gladness,
9Hide your face from my sins,
10Create in me a clean heart, O God.
11Don’t throw me from your presence,
12Restore to me the joy of your salvation.
13Then I will teach transgressors your ways.
14Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, the God of my salvation.
15Lord, open my lips.
16For you don’t delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it.
