Psalm 51 — The Miserere Prayer of Repentance (A psalm of David when Nathan the prophet came to him after his sin with Bathsheba.)
1. Have mercy on me, O God, in your goodness; in your abundant compassion blot out my offense.
2. Wash Me thoroughly from mine iniquity; and cleanse me from my sin.
3. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
4. Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in Thy sight; that Thou mightiest be justified when Thou speakest, and be clear when Thou judgest.
5. Behold, I was shaped in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6. Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden part Thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast broken may rejoice.
9. Turn away Thy Face from my sins; and blot out all mine iniquities.
10. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
11. Cast me not away from Thy Presence; and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.
12. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and uphold me with Thy free Spirit.
13. Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto Thee.
14. Deliver me from blood guilt, O God, thou God of my salvation; and my tongue shall sing aloud of Thy justice.
15. O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall proclaim Thy praise.
16. For Thou desires not sacrifice else would I give it; Thou delights not in burnt offerings.
17. My sacrifice, O God, is a contrite spirit; a heart contrite and humbled, O God, Thou wilt not despise.
18. Be bountiful, O Lord, to Sion in Thy kindness; by rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem.
19. Then shalt Thou be pleased with sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offerings and holocausts; then shall they offer bullocks upon Thine altar.
