Psalms Chapter 51 (NKJV Bible)
1 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David [1†]when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. [1] Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, [2†]Blot out my transgressions.
2 [3†]Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is always before me.
4 [4†]Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil [5†]in Your sight— [6†]That You may be found just when You speak, And blameless when You judge.
5 [7†]Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.
6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.
7 [8†]Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be [9†]whiter than snow.
8 Make me hear joy and gladness, That the bones You have broken [10†]may rejoice.
9 Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities.
10 [11†]Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your [12†]Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your [13†]generous Spirit.
13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You.
14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.
15 O Lord, open my lips, And my mouth shall show forth Your praise.
16 For [14†]You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering.
17 [15†]The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart— These, O God, You will not despise.
18 Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion; Build the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then You shall be pleased with [16†]the sacrifices of righteousness, With burnt offering and whole burnt offering; Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar.
