Psalms:51
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Have mercy upon me ,
O God ,
according to your loving kindness :
according unto the multitude of your tender mercies blot out my transgressions .
*
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity ,
and cleanse me from my sin .
*
For I acknowledge my transgressions :
and my sin is ever before me .
*
Against 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 .
*
Behold ,
I was formed in iniquity ;
and in sin did my mother conceive me .
*
Behold ,
you desire truth in the inward parts :
and in the hidden part you shall make me to know wisdom .
*
Purge me with hyssop ,
and I shall be clean :
wash me ,
and I shall be whiter than snow .
*
Make me to hear joy and gladness ;
that the bones which you have broken may rejoice .
*
Hide your face from my sins ,
and blot out all mine iniquities .
*
Create in me a clean heart ,
O God ;
and renew a right spirit within me .
*
Cast me not away from your presence ;
and take not your holy spirit from me .
*
Restore unto me the joy of your salvation ;
and uphold me with your free spirit .
*
Then will I teach transgressors your ways ;
and sinners shall be converted unto you .
*
Deliver me from blood guiltiness ,
O God ,
you God of my salvation :
and my tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness .
*
O Lord ,
open you my lips ;
and my mouth shall show forth your praise .
*
For you desire not sacrifice ;
else would I give it :
you delight not in burnt offering .
*
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit :
a broken and a contrite heart ,
O God ,
you will not despise .
*
Do good in your good pleasure unto Zion :
build you the walls of Jerusalem .
*
Then shall you be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness ,
with burnt offering and whole burnt offering :
then shall they offer bullocks upon yours altar .
