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 thoroughly 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 shaped in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
51:6  Behold, Thou desirest truth in my inward parts; 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 show 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.
