Psalm 51

 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.
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 thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
³    For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
⁴    Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, 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 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; that the bones 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 with thy free spirit.
¹³    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: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
¹⁵    O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall show forth thy praise.
¹⁶    For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
¹⁷    The sacrifices of God 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.
