ASV - Psalms - 51

51:1  Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: According to 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 know my transgressions; And my sin is ever before me.

51:4  Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, And done that which is evil in thy sight; That thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, And be clear when thou judgest.

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

51:6  Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts; And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom.

51:7  Purify 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 a willing 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; Andmy 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 delightest not in sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou hast no pleasure 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 wilt thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, In burnt-offering and whole burnt-offering: Then will they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
