Psalms 51

1 To the choirmaster a psalm of David. When came to him Nathan the prophet just when he had gone into Bath-sheba. Show favor to me O God according to covenant loyalty your according to [the] greatness of compassion your wipe out transgressions my.

For the end, a Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, when he had gone to Bersabee. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to your great mercy; and according to the multitude of your compassions blot out my transgression.

2 (Increase *Q(K)*) wash me from iniquity my and from sin my cleanse me.

Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

3 For transgressions my I I know and sin my [is] before me continually.

For I am conscious of mine iniquity; and my sin is continually before me.

4 To you to alone you - I have sinned and the evil in view your I have done so that you may be just when speaking you you will be pure when judging you.

Against you only have I sinned, and done evil before you: that you might be justified in your sayings, and might overcome when you are judged.

5 Here! in iniquity I was brought forth and in sin she conceived me mother my.

For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me.

6 Here! faithfulness you desire in the covered places and in a [place] kept secret wisdom you cause to know me.

For, behold, you love truth: you have manifested to me the secret and hidden things of your wisdom.

7 You will cleanse from sin me with hyssop so I may be pure you will wash me and more than snow I will become white.

You shall sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: you shall wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.

8 You will make hear me joy and gladness let them rejoice [the] bones [which] you have crushed.

You shall cause me to hear gladness and joy: the afflicted bones shall rejoice.

9 Hide face your from sins my and all iniquities my wipe out.

Turn away your face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

10 A heart pure create for me O God and a spirit steadfast renew in inner being my.

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit in my inward parts.

11 May not you cast me from to before you and [the] spirit of holiness your may not you take from me.

Cast me not away from your presence; and remove not your holy Spirit from me.

12 Restore! to me [the] joy of salvation your and a spirit willing you will sustain me.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation: establish me with your directing Spirit.

13 I will teach transgressors ways your and sinners to you they will return.

[Then] will I teach transgressors your ways; and ungodly men shall turn to you.

14 Deliver me from blood - O God [the] God of salvation my it will shout for joy tongue my righteousness your.

Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation: [and] my tongue shall joyfully declare your righteousness.

15 O Lord lips my you will open and mouth my it will declare praise your.

O Lord, you shall open my lips; and my mouth shall declare your praise.

16 For - not you desire sacrifice and I will give [it] burnt offering not you are pleased with.

For if you desired sacrifice, I would have given [it]: you will not take pleasure in whole burnt offerings.

17 [the] sacrifices of God [are] a spirit broken a heart broken and crushed O God not you despise.

Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit: a broken and humbled heart God will not despise.

18 Do good to! in favor your Zion you will build [the] walls of Jerusalem.

Do good, O Lord, to Sion in your good pleasure; and let the walls of Jerusalem be built.

19 Then you will delight in sacrifices of righteousness burnt offering and whole offering then people will offer up on altar your young bulls.

Then shall you be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, offering, and whole burnt sacrifices: then shall they offer calves upon your altar.
