1(51) For the end, a Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, when he had gone to Bersabee. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to your great mercy; and according to the multitude of your compassions blot out my transgression.
1Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
2Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3For I am conscious of my iniquity; and my sin is continually before me.
3For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
4Against you onlyhave I sinned, and done evil before you: that you might be justified in your sayings, and might overcome when you are judged.
4Against 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.
5For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me.
5Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6For, behold, you love truth: you have manifested to me the secret and hidden things of your wisdom.
6Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7You shall sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: you shall wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8You shall cause me to hear gladness and joy: the afflicted bones shall rejoice.
8Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
9Turn away your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
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 in my inward parts.
10Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
11Cast me not away from your presence; and remove not your holy Spirit from me.
11Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
12Restore to me the joy of your salvation: establish me with your directing Spirit.
12Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
13[Then] will I teach transgressors your ways; and ungodly men shall turn to you.
13Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
14Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation: [and] my tongue shall joyfully declare your righteousness.
14Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
15O Lord, you shall open my lips; and my mouth shall declare your praise.
15O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
16For if you desired sacrifice, I would have given [it]: you will not take pleasure in whole burnt offerings.
16For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
17Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit: a broken and humbled heartGod will not despise.
17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
18Do good, O Lord, to Sion in your good pleasure; and let the walls of Jerusalem be built.
18Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19Then shall you be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, offering, and whole burnt sacrifices: then shall they offer calves upon your altar.
19Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
