Psalms 51

Big screen
  1. 1Have mercy upon me, O God, according to your loving kindness: according unto the multitude of your tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
  2. 2Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
  3. 3For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
  4. 4Against you, you only, have I sinned, and done this evil in your sight: that you might be justified when you speak, and be clear when you judge.
  5. 5Behold, I was formed in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
  6. 6Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part you shall make me to know wisdom.
  7. 7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
  8. 8Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which you have broken may rejoice.
  9. 9Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
  10. 10Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
  11. 11Cast me not away from your presence; and take not your holy spirit from me.
  12. 12Restore unto me the joy of your salvation; and uphold me with your free spirit.
  13. 13Then will I teach transgressors your ways; and sinners shall be converted unto you.
  14. 14Deliver me from blood guiltiness, O God, you God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.
  15. 15O Lord, open you my lips; and my mouth shall show forth your praise.
  16. 16For you desire not sacrifice; else would I give it: you delight not in burnt offering.
  17. 17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
  18. 18Do good in your good pleasure unto Zion: build you the walls of Jerusalem.
  19. 19Then shall you be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon yours altar.
