Psalms 51

"Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions."

"Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin."

"For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me."

"Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest."

"Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me."

"Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom."

"Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow."

"Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice."

"Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities."

"Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me."

"Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me."

"Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit."

"Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee."

"Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness."

"O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise."

"For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering."

"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise."

"Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem."

"Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar."
