Psalms 51
Ready to read
1
ⓐⓑ Have mercy on me,[1] O God, according to your steadfast love; according to yourⓒ abundant mercy ⓓblot out my transgressions.
2
ⓔ Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, andⓕ cleanse me from my sin!
3
ⓖ For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.
4
ⓗ Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evilⓘ in your sight, ⓙso that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment.
5
Behold,ⓚ I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6
Behold, you delight in truth inⓛ the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.
7
Purge meⓜ with hyssop, and I shall be clean; ⓝwash me, and I shall beⓞ whiter than snow.
8
Let me hear joy and gladness; ⓟlet the bonesⓠ that you have broken rejoice.
9
ⓡ Hide your face from my sins, andⓢ blot out all my iniquities.
10
ⓣ Create in me aⓤ clean heart, O God, andⓥ renew a right[2] spirit within me.
11
ⓦ Cast me not away from your presence, and take notⓧ your 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ⓨ return to you.
14
Deliver me fromⓩ bloodguiltiness, O God, Oⓐ God of my salvation, andⓑ my tongue will sing aloud of yourⓒ righteousness.
15
O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.
16
ⓓ For 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ⓔ a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
18
ⓕ Do good to Zion in your good pleasure; ⓖbuild up the walls of Jerusalem;
19
then will you delight inⓗ right sacrifices, in burnt offerings andⓘ whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on your altar.
