Psalms 51

PSALM 51
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician,
A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone into Bathsheba.
1After thy loving-kindness, Lord,
have mercy upon me:
For thy compassions great, blot out
all mine iniquity.
2Me cleanse from sin, and throughly wash
from mine iniquity:
3For my transgressions I confess;
my sin I ever see.
4'Gainst thee, thee only, have I sinn'd,
in thy sight done this ill;
That when thou speak'st thou may'st be just,
and clear in judging still.
5Behold, I in iniquity
was form'd the womb within;
My mother also me conceiv'd
in guiltiness and sin.
6Behold, thou in the inward parts
with truth delighted art;
And wisdom thou shalt make me know
within the hidden part.
7Do thou with hyssop sprinkle me,
I shall be cleansed so;
Yea, wash thou me, and then I shall
be whiter than the snow.
8Of gladness and of joyfulness
make me to hear the voice;
That so these very bones which thou
hast broken may rejoice.
9All mine iniquities blot out,
thy face hide from my sin.
10Create a clean heart, Lord, renew
a right sp'rit me within.
11Cast me not from thy sight, nor take
thy Holy Sp'rit away.
12Restore me thy salvation's joy;
with thy free Sp'rit me stay.
13Then will I teach thy ways unto
those that transgressors be;
And those that sinners are shall then
be turned unto thee.
14O God, of my salvation God,
me from blood-guiltiness
Set free; then shall my tongue aloud
sing of thy righteousness.
15My closed lips, O Lord, by thee
let them be opened;
Then shall thy praises by my mouth
abroad be published.
16For thou desir'st not sacrifice,
else would I give it thee;
Nor wilt thou with burnt-offering
at all delighted be.
17A broken spirit is to God
a pleasing sacrifice:
A broken and a contrite heart,
Lord, thou wilt not despise.
18Shew kindness, and do good, O Lord,
to Sion, thine own hill:
The walls of thy Jerusalem
build up of thy good will.
19Then righteous off 'rings shall thee please,
and off 'rings burnt, which they
With whole burnt-off 'rings,
and with calves, shall on thine altar lay.

Psalms 51
51
Create in Me a Clean Heart
1For the music director: a psalm of David,
2when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he went to Bathsheba.
3Be gracious to me, O God, according to Your mercy. According to Your great compassion blot out my transgressions.
4Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
5For I know my transgressions and my sin is ever before me.
6Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You are just when You speak, and blameless when You judge.
7Behold, I was born in iniquity and in sin when my mother conceived me.
8Surely You desire truth in the inner being. Make me know wisdom inwardly.
9Cleanse me with hyssop and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
10Let me hear joy and gladness, so the bones You crushed may rejoice.
11Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
12Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
13Do not cast me from Your presence— take not Your Ruach ha-Kodesh from me.
14Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and sustain me with a willing spirit.
15Then will I teach transgressors Your ways and sinners will return to You.
16Deliver me from bloodguilt, O God— God of my salvation. Then my tongue will sing for joy of Your righteousness.
17O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praise.
18For You would not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it, nor be pleased by burnt offerings.
19The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.
20In Your favor do good to Zion. Build up the walls of Jerusalem.
21Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices and whole burnt offerings. Then bulls will be offered on Your altar.
