Rotherham - Psalms - 51

51:1  Be favorable unto me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness, And, in the multitude of thy compassions, blot out my transgressions;

51:2  Thoroughly wash me from mine iniquity, And, from my sin, make me pure;

51:3  For, my transgressions, do, I, acknowledge, And, my sin, is before me continually:

51:4  Against thee—against thee alone, have I sinned, And, wickedness—in thine eyes, have I done,—That thou mayest, Be justified when thou speakest,—Be clear when thou judgest.

51:5  Lo! in iniquity, was I brought forth, And, in sin, did my mother conceive me.

51:6  Lo! faithfulness, hast thou desired in the inward parts, Yea, in the hidden part, wilt thou cause me to know, wisdom.

51:7  Wilt thou cleanse me from sin with hyssop, That I may be pure? Wilt thou wash me, That I may be whiter, than snow?

51:8  Wilt thou cause me to hear joy and gladness? The bones thou hast crushed would exult.

51:9  Hide thy face from my sins,—And, all mine iniquities, blot out;

51:10  A pure heart, create for me, O God, And, a steadfast spirit, renew within me.

51:11  Do not cast me away from thy presence, And, thy Holy Spirit, do not take from me:

51:12  Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, And, with a willing spirit, wilt thou uphold me:—

51:13  I would teach transgressors thy ways, And, sinners, unto thee, should return.

51:14  Rescue me from shed-blood, O God, the God of my salvation, My tongue should shout thy righteousness;

51:15  O My Lord! my lips, wilt thou open, And, my mouth, shall declare thy praise.

51:16  For thou wilt not desire sacrifice—that I should give it, Ascending-offering, will not please:

51:17  The sacrifices of God, are a spirit that is broken,—A heart—broken and crushed, O God, thou wilt not despise.

51:18  Do good, in thy good-pleasure, unto Zion, Wilt thou build the walls of Jerusalem!

51:19  Then, shalt thou desire the sacrifices of righteousness, Ascending-sacrifice and whole burnt-offering, Then, shall ascend upon thine altar, young bulls.
