PSALM 51
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to your lovingkindness; according to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my 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 clear when you judge.
Behold, I was shaped 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 know wisdom.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Make me hear joy and gladness, that the bones which you have broken may rejoice.
Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my 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 bloodguiltiness, O God, you God of my salvation, and my tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.
O Lord, open 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 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 your altar. (Psalm 51:1-19)
