Psalms 51
1
According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
2
Cleanse me from my sin.
3
My sin is constantly before me.
4
and justified when you judge.
5
My mother conceived me in sin.
6
You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
7
Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8
that the bones which you have broken may rejoice.
9
and blot out all of my iniquities.
10
Renew a right spirit within me.
11
and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me.
12
Uphold me with a willing spirit.
13
Sinners will be converted to you.
14
My tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.
15
My mouth will declare your praise.
16
You have no pleasure in burnt offering.
17
O God, you will not despise a broken and contrite heart.
18
Build the walls of Jerusalem.
19
Then they will offer bulls on your altar.
