51:1 To
the
chiefe
Musician.
A
Psalme
of
Dauid,
when
Nathan
the
Prophet
came
vnto
him,
after
hee
had
gone
in
to
Bath-sheba.
Haue
mercie
vpon
mee,
O
God,
according
to
thy
louing
kindnesse:
according
vnto
the
multitude
of
thy
tender
mercies
blot
out
my
transgressions.
51:2 Wash
mee
throughly
from
mine
iniquitie,
and
clense
me
from
my
sinne.
51:3 For
I
acknowledge
my
transgressions:
and
my
sinne
is
euer
before
mee.
51:4 Against
thee,
thee
onely
haue
I
sinned,
and
done
this
euill
in
thy
sight:
that
thou
mightest
bee
iustified
when
thou
speakest,
and
be
cleare
when
thou
iudgest.
51:5 Behold,
I
was
shapen
in
iniquitie:
and
in
sinne
did
my
mother
conceiue
me.
51:6 Behold,
thou
desirest
trueth
in
the
inward
parts:
and
in
the
hidden
part
thou
shalt
make
me
to
know
wisedome.
51:7 Purge
me
with
hyssope,
and
I
shalbe
cleane:
wash
me,
and
I
shall
be
whiter
then
snow.
51:8 Make
mee
to
heare
ioy
and
gladnesse:
that
the
bones
which
thou
hast
broken,
may
reioyce.
51:9 Hide
thy
face
from
my
sinnes;
and
blot
out
all
mine
iniquities.
51:10 Create
in
mee
a
cleane
heart,
O
God;
and
renew
a
right
spirit
within
mee.
51:11 Cast
mee
not
away
from
thy
presence;
and
take
not
thy
holy
Spirit
from
me.
51:12 Restore
vnto
me
the
ioy
of
thy
saluation:
and
vphold
mee
with
thy
free
Spirit.
51:13 Then
will
I
teach
transgressours
thy
wayes,
and
sinners
shalbe
conuerted
vnto
thee.
51:14 Deliuer
mee
from
blood-guiltinesse,
O
God,
thou
God
of
my
saluation:
and
my
tongue
shall
sing
alowd
of
thy
righteousnesse.
51:15 O
Lord
open
thou
my
lips,
and
my
mouth
shall
shew
foorth
thy
praise.
51:16 For
thou
desirest
not
sacrifice:
else
would
I
giue
it:
thou
delightest
not
in
burnt
offering.
51:17 The
sacrifices
of
God
are
a
broken
spirit:
a
broken
and
a
contrite
heart,
O
God,
thou
wilt
not
despise.
51:18 Doe
good
in
thy
good
pleasure
vnto
Sion:
build
thou
the
walles
of
Ierusalem.
51:19 Then
shalt
thou
be
pleased
with
the
sacrifices
of
righteousnesse,
with
burnt
offering
and
whole
burnt
offering:
then
shall
they
offer
bullockes
vpon
thine
altar.
