51:1  Have mercy upon me, O God, according to your lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of your tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
51:2  Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
51:3  For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
51:4  Against you, you only, have I sinned, and done this evil in your sight: that you might be justified when you speak, and be blameless when you judge.
51:5  Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
51:6  Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part you shall 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 you have broken may rejoice.
51:9  Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my 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 your presence; and take not your holy Spirit from me.
51:12  Restore unto me the joy of your salvation; and uphold me with your free spirit.
51:13  Then will I teach transgressors your ways; and sinners shall be converted unto you.
51:14  Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.
51:15  O Lord, open my lips; and my mouth shall show forth your praise.
51:16  For you desire not sacrifice; else would I give it: you delight not in burnt offering.
51:17  The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
51:18  Do good in your good pleasure unto Zion: build you the walls of Jerusalem.
51:19  Then shall you be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon your altar.
