Psalms 51 (kjv)

To the chief Musician^H5329, A Psalm^H4210 of David^H1732, when Nathan^H5416 the prophet^H5030 came^H935 unto him, after he had gone in^H935 to Bathsheba^H1339. Have mercy^H2603 upon me, O God^H430, according to thy lovingkindness^H2617: according unto the multitude^H7230 of thy tender mercies^H7356 blot out^H4229 my transgressions^H6588.²Wash^H3526 me throughly^H7235 from mine iniquity^H5771, and cleanse^H2891 me from my sin^H2403.³For I acknowledge^H3045 my transgressions^H6588: and my sin^H2403 is ever^H8548 before me.⁴Against thee, thee only, have I sinned^H2398, and done^H6213 this evil^H7451 in thy sight^H5869: that thou mightest be justified^H6663 when thou speakest^H1696, and be clear^H2135 when thou judgest^H8199.⁵Behold, I was shapen^H2342 in iniquity^H5771; and in sin^H2399 did my mother^H517 conceive^H3179 me.

⁶Behold, thou desirest^H2654 truth^H571 in the inward parts^H2910: and in the hidden^H5640 part thou shalt make me to know^H3045 wisdom^H2451.⁷Purge^H2398 me with hyssop^H231, and I shall be clean^H2891: wash^H3526 me, and I shall be whiter^H3835 than snow^H7950.⁸Make me to hear^H8085 joy^H8342 and gladness^H8057; that the bones^H6106 which thou hast broken^H1794 may rejoice^H1523.⁹Hide^H5641 thy face^H6440 from my sins^H2399, and blot out^H4229 all mine iniquities^H5771.¹⁰Create^H1254 in me a clean^H2889 heart^H3820, O God^H430; and renew^H2318 a right^H3559 spirit^H7307 within^H7130 me.¹¹Cast me not away^H7993 from thy presence^H6440; and take^H3947 not thy holy^H6944 spirit^H7307 from me.¹²Restore^H7725 unto me the joy^H8342 of thy salvation^H3468; and uphold^H5564 me with thy free^H5081 spirit^H7307.¹³Then will I teach^H3925 transgressors^H6586 thy ways^H1870; and sinners^H2400 shall be converted^H7725 unto thee.¹⁴Deliver^H5337 me from bloodguiltiness^H1818, O God^H430, thou God^H430 of my salvation^H8668: and my tongue^H3956 shall sing aloud^H7442 of thy righteousness^H6666.¹⁵O Lord^H136, open^H6605 thou my lips^H8193; and my mouth^H6310 shall shew forth^H5046 thy praise^H8416.

¹⁶For thou desirest^H2654 not sacrifice^H2077; else would I give^H5414 it: thou delightest^H7521 not in burnt offering^H5930.¹⁷The sacrifices^H2077 of God^H430 are a broken^H7665 spirit^H7307: a broken^H7665 and a contrite^H1794 heart^H3820, O God^H430, thou wilt not despise^H959.

¹⁸Do good^H3190 in thy good pleasure^H7522 unto Zion^H6726: build^H1129 thou the walls^H2346 of Jerusalem^H3389.¹⁹Then shalt thou be pleased^H2654 with the sacrifices^H2077 of righteousness^H6664, with burnt offering^H5930 and whole^H3632 burnt offering^H5930: then shall they offer^H5927 bullocks^H6499 upon thine altar^H4196.
