Psalm 51 :: King James Version (KJV)

A Contrite Sinner's Prayer for Pardon.

Psa 51:1[[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.]] Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

Psa 51:2

Psa 51:2Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

Psa 51:3

Psa 51:3For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

Psa 51:4

Psa 51:4Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

Psa 51:5

Psa 51:5Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Psa 51:6

Psa 51:6Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

Psa 51:7

Psa 51:7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Psa 51:8

Psa 51:8Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

Psa 51:9

Psa 51:9Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

Psa 51:10

Psa 51:10Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Psa 51:11

Psa 51:11Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

Psa 51:12

Psa 51:12Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

Psa 51:13

Psa 51:13Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

Psa 51:14

Psa 51:14Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

Psa 51:15

Psa 51:15O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

Psa 51:16

Psa 51:16For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.

Psa 51:17

Psa 51:17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Psa 51:18

Psa 51:18Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

Psa 51:19

Psa 51:19Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
