Psalm 51:1-19 - Create In Me A Clean Heart, O God
1 For the choir director. A Davidic psalm, when Nathan the prophet came to him after he had gone to Bathsheba.
according to Your faithful love;
according to Your abundant compassion,
blot out my rebellion.
and cleanse me from my sin.
and my sin is always before me.
and done this evil in Your sight.
So You are right when You pass sentence;
You are blameless when You judge.
I was sinful when my mother conceived me.
6
and You teach me wisdom deep within.
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
let the bones You have crushed rejoice.
and blot out all my guilt.
10
and renew a steadfast
or take Your Holy Spirit from me.
and give me a willing spirit.
and sinners will return to You.
14
the God of my salvation,
and my tongue will sing of Your righteousness.
and my mouth will declare Your praise.
You are not pleased with a burnt offering.
God, You will not despise a broken and humbled heart.
18
build
whole burnt offerings;
then bulls will be offered on Your altar.
