Psalm 51 :: Darby Translation (DBY)

Psa 51:1{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba.} Be gracious unto me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness; according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
Psa 51:2Wash me fully from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Psa 51:3For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is continually before me.
Psa 51:4Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight; that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest.
Psa 51:5Behold, in iniquity was I brought forth, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Psa 51:6Behold, thou wilt have truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom.
Psa 51:7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Psa 51:8Make me to hear gladness and joy; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
Psa 51:9Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
Psa 51:10Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Psa 51:11Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not the spirit of thy holiness from me.
Psa 51:12Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and let a willing spirit sustain me.
Psa 51:13I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall return unto thee.
Psa 51:14Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
Psa 51:15Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
Psa 51:16For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.
Psa 51:17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Psa 51:18Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem.
Psa 51:19Then shalt thou have sacrifices of righteousness, burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering; then shall they offer up bullocks upon thine altar.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
