Psalm 51 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psa 51:1To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David, in the coming inn unto him of Nathan the prophet, when he hath gone in unto Bath-Sheba. Favour me, O God, according to Thy kindness, According to the abundance of Thy mercies, Blot out my transgressions.
Psa 51:2Thoroughly wash me from mine iniquity, And from my sin cleanse me,
Psa 51:3For my transgressions I do know, And my sin is before me continually.
Psa 51:4Against Thee, Thee only, I have sinned, And done the evil thing in Thine eyes, So that Thou art righteous in Thy words, Thou art pure in Thy judging.
Psa 51:5Lo, in iniquity I have been brought forth, And in sin doth my mother conceive me.
Psa 51:6Lo, truth Thou hast desired in the inward parts, And in the hidden part Wisdom Thou causest me to know.
Psa 51:7Thou cleansest me with hyssop and I am clean, Washest me, and than snow I am whiter.
Psa 51:8Thou causest me to hear joy and gladness, Thou makest joyful bones Thou hast bruised.
Psa 51:9Hide Thy face from my sin. And all mine iniquities blot out.
Psa 51:10A clean heart prepare for me, O God, And a right spirit renew within me.
Psa 51:11Cast me not forth from Thy presence, And Thy Holy Spirit take not from me.
Psa 51:12Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation, And a willing spirit doth sustain me.
Psa 51:13I teach transgressors Thy ways, And sinners unto Thee do return.
Psa 51:14Deliver me from blood, O God, God of my salvation, My tongue singeth of Thy righteousness.
Psa 51:15O Lord, my lips thou dost open, And my mouth declareth Thy praise.
Psa 51:16For Thou desirest not sacrifice, or I give it, Burnt-offering Thou acceptest not.
Psa 51:17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A heart broken and bruised, O God, Thou dost not despise.
Psa 51:18Do good in Thy good pleasure with Zion, Thou dost build the walls of Jerusalem.
Psa 51:19Then Thou desirest sacrifices of righteousness, Burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering, Then they offer bullocks on thine altar!
