Psalms 51

Create in Me a Clean Heart, O God

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, when ^eNathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

1 ^fHave mercy on me, ^{▼▼Or Be gracious to me} O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your ^habundant mercy
ⁱblot out my transgressions.
2 ^jWash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and ^kcleanse me from my sin!
3 ^lFor I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
4 ^mAgainst you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil ⁿin your sight,
^oso that you may be justified in your words
and blameless in your judgment.
5 Behold, ^pI was brought forth in iniquity,
and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, you delight in truth in ^qthe inward being,
and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.
7 Purge me ^rwith hyssop, and I shall be clean;
^swash me, and I shall be ^twhiter than snow.
8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
^ulet the bones ^vthat you have broken rejoice.
9 ^wHide your face from my sins,
and ^xblot out all my iniquities.
10 ^yCreate in me a ^zclean heart, O God,
and ^aarenew a right ^{▼▼Or steadfast} spirit within me.
11 ^acCast me not away from your presence,
and take not ^adyour Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with a willing spirit.
13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will ^aereturn to you.
14 Deliver me from ^afbloodguiltiness, O God,
O ^agGod of my salvation,
and ^ahmy tongue will sing aloud of your ^airighteousness.
15 O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
16 ^ajFor you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;
you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are ^aka broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
18 ^alDo good to Zion in your good pleasure;
^ambuild up the walls of Jerusalem;
19 then will you delight in ^anright sacrifices,
in burnt offerings and ^aowhole burnt offerings;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.

Psalms 119:106

106 I have ^apsworn an oath and confirmed it,
to keep your ^aqrighteous rules.

Proverbs 28:13

13 Whoever ^arconceals his transgressions will not prosper,
but he who ^asconfesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.

Psalms 32:5
