1(51) For the end, a Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, when he had gone to Bersabee. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to your great mercy; and according to the multitude of your compassions blot out my transgression.
1The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
2Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
2Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
3For I am conscious of my iniquity; and my sin is continually before me.
3Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
4Against you only have I sinned, and done evil before you: that you might be justified in your sayings, and might overcome when you are judged.
4He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
5For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me.
5Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
6For, behold, you love truth: you have manifested to me the secret and hidden things of your wisdom.
6And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.
7You shall sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: you shall wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
7Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.
8You shall cause me to hear gladness and joy: the afflicted bones shall rejoice.
8I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
9Turn away your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
9I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.
10Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit in my inward parts.
10For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11Cast me not away from your presence; and remove not your holy Spirit from me.
11I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
12Restore to me the joy of your salvation: establish me with your directing Spirit.
12If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
13[Then] will I teach transgressors your ways; and ungodly men shall turn to you.
13Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation: [and] my tongue shall joyfully declare your righteousness.
14Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
15O Lord, you shall open my lips; and my mouth shall declare your praise.
15And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16For if you desired sacrifice, I would have given [it]: you will not take pleasure in whole burnt offerings.
16But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
17Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit: a broken and humbled heart God will not despise.
17Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.
18Do good, O Lord, to Sion in your good pleasure; and let the walls of Jerusalem be built.
18When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
19Then shall you be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, offering, and whole burnt sacrifices: then shall they offer calves upon your altar.
19Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
