Psalms Chapter 51 (NASB)
undefined
For the choir director. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Be gracious to me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; According to the greatness of Your compassion blot out my transgressions.
undefined
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity And cleanse me from my sin.
undefined
For I know my transgressions, And my sin is ever before me.
undefined
Against You, You only, I have sinned And done what is evil in Your sight, So that You are justified when You speak And blameless when You judge.
undefined
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.
undefined
Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, And in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom.
undefined
Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
undefined
Make me to hear joy and gladness, Let the bones which You have broken rejoice.
undefined
Hide Your face from my sins And blot out all my iniquities.
undefined
Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
undefined
Do not cast me away from Your presence And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
undefined
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation And sustain me with a willing spirit.
undefined
[Then] I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners will be converted to You.
undefined
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation; [Then] my tongue will joyfully sing of Your righteousness.
undefined
O Lord, open my lips, That my mouth may declare Your praise.
undefined
For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; You are not pleased with burnt offering.
undefined
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.
undefined
By Your favor do good to Zion; Build the walls of Jerusalem.
undefined
Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, In burnt offering and whole burnt offering; Then young bulls will be offered on Your altar.
