Psalms 51

luther1545 kjv valera ls1910

¹Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: According to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. ²Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. ³For I know my transgressions; And my sin is ever before me. ⁴Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, And done that which is evil in thy sight; That thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, And be clear when thou judgest. ⁵Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity; And in sin did my mother conceive me. ⁶Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts; And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom. ⁷Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. ⁸Make me to hear joy and gladness, That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. ⁹Hide thy face from my sins, And blot out all mine iniquities. ¹⁰Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me. ¹¹Cast me not away from thy presence; And take not thy holy Spirit from me. ¹²Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; And uphold me with a willing spirit. ¹³Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; And sinners shall be converted unto thee. ¹⁴Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation; Andmy tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. ¹⁵O Lord, open thou my lips; And my mouth shall show forth thy praise. ¹⁶For thou delightest not in sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering. ¹⁷The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. ¹⁸Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: Build thou the walls of Jerusalem. ¹⁹Then wilt thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, In burnt-offering and whole burnt-offering: Then will they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
