51:001
For the Leader. A Psalm of David
51:002
When Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in
to Bath-sheba
51:003
Be gracious unto me, O G-d, according to Thy mercy;
according to the multitude of Thy compassions blot out my transgressions
51:004
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from
my sin
51:005
For I know my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me
51:006
Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done that which
is evil in Thy sight; that Thou mayest be justified when Thou speakest, and be
in the right when Thou judgest
51:007
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my
mother conceive me
51:008
Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts; make me,
therefore, to know wisdom in mine inmost heart
51:009
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I
shall be whiter than snow
51:010
Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which
Thou hast crushed may rejoice
51:011
Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine
iniquities
51:012
Create me a clean heart, O G-d; and renew a stedfast
spirit within me
51:013
Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy holy
spirit from me
51:014
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and let a
willing spirit uphold me
51:015
Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners
shall return unto Thee
51:016
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O G-d, Thou G-d of my
salvation; so shall my tongue sing aloud of Thy righteousness
51:017
O L-rd, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall declare Thy
praise
51:018
For Thou delightest not in sacrifice, else would I give
it; Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering
51:019
The sacrifices of G-d are a broken spirit; a broken and a
contrite heart, O G-d, Thou wilt not despise
51:020
Do good in Thy favour unto Zion; build Thou the walls of
Jerusalem
51:021
Then wilt Thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness,
in burnt-offering and whole offering; then will they offer bullocks upon Thine
altar
