Psalm 51 – A Song of Worship and Reflection

Psalm 51

51:1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:

according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my

transgressions.

51:2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

51:3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before

me.

51:4 Against 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.

51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother

conceive me.

51:6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the

hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

51:7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall

be whiter than snow.

51:8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast

broken may rejoice.

51:9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit

within me.

51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit

from me.

51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy

free spirit.

51:13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be

converted unto thee.

51:14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my

salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

51:15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy

praise.

51:16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give 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 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of

Jerusalem.

51:19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness,

with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer

bullocks upon thine altar.
