Psalm 51

Psalm 51:1-19

51
Chapter 51
1 When Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had come to Bathsheba. 2 Be gracious to me, O God, according to your lovingkindness; according to the multitude of your compassions, blot out my transgressions. 3 Have mercy on me, God, according to your steadfast love; according to the abundance of your compassions, blot out my transgressions. 4 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. 5 For I know my transgression, and my sin is before you continually. 6 Behold, I was formed in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me. 7 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me. 8 Purge me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. 9 Make me hear joy and gladness; let my crushed bones exult. 10 Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities. 11 Create for me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 12 Do not cast me away from before you, and do not take your holy spirit from me. 13 Return to me the gladness of your salvation, and let a generous spirit sustain me. 14 Return to me the joy of your salvation, and a noble spirit will sustain me. 15 Deliver me from bloodguilt, God, my saving God; my tongue will sing of your righteousness. 16 Lord, you will open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. 17 For you do not desire sacrifice, that I would offer; you do not accept burnt offerings. 18 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and crushed heart, God will not despise. 19 Favor Zion in your good pleasure; build the walls of Jerusalem.
