Psalms 51:1-13 KJV
(1)Â To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
(2)Â Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
(3)Â For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
(4)Â 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.
(5)Â Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
(6)Â Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
(7)Â Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
(8)Â Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
(9)Â Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
(10)Â Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
(11)Â Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
(12)Â Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
(13)Â Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. |
