Psalms - Chapter 51 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
  • 2. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
  • 3. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin {cf15I is} ever before me.
  • 4. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done {cf15I this} evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, {cf15I and} be clear when thou judgest.
  • 5. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
  • 6. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden {cf15I part} thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
  • 7. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
  • 8. Make me to hear joy and gladness; {cf15I that} the bones {cf15I which} thou hast broken may rejoice.
  • 9. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
  • 10. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
  • 11. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
  • 12. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me {cf15I with thy} free spirit.
  • 13. {cf15I Then} will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
  • 14. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: {cf15I and} my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
  • 15. O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
  • 16. For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give {cf15I it}: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
  • 17. The sacrifices of God {cf15I are} a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
  • 18. Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
  • 19. Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
