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.

Tehillim (Psalms) 51
51
1Show me favour, O Elohim, According to Your loving-commitment; According to the greatness of Your compassion, Blot out my transgressions.
2Wash me completely from my guilt, And cleanse me from my sin.
3For I know my transgressions, And my sin is ever before me.
4Against You, You alone, have I sinned, And done evil in Your eyes; That You might be proven right in Your words; Be clear when You judge.
5See, I was brought forth in crookedness, And in sin my mother conceived me.
6See, You have desired truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You make me know wisdom.
7Cleanse me with hyssop, and I am clean; Wash me, and I am whiter than snow.
8Let me hear joy and gladness, Let the bones You have crushed rejoice.
9Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my crookednesses.
10Create in me a clean heart, O Elohim, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Set-apart Spirit from me.
12Restore to me the joy of Your deliverance, And uphold me, Noble Spirit!
13Let me teach transgressors Your ways, So that sinners turn back to You.
14Deliver me from blood-guilt, O Elohim, Elohim of my deliverance, Let my tongue sing aloud of Your righteousness.
15O יהוה, open my lips, And that my mouth declare Your praise.
16For You do not desire slaughtering, or I would give it; You do not delight in ascending offering.
17The slaughterings of Elohim are a broken spirit, A heart broken and crushed, O Elohim, These You do not despise.
18Do good in Your good pleasure to Tsiyon; Build the walls of Yerushalayim.
19Then You would delight in slaughterings of righteousness, In ascending offering and complete ascending offering; Then young bulls would be offered on Your slaughter-place.
