Psalm 51

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 For the leader. A psalm of David, when Natan the prophet came to him after his affair with Bat-Sheva: God, in your grace, have mercy on me; in your great compassion, blot out my crimes.

2 Wash me completely from my guilt, and cleanse me from my sin.

3 For I know my crimes, my sin confronts me all the time.

4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil from your perspective; so that you are right in accusing me and justified in passing sentence.

5 True, I was born guilty, was a sinner from the moment my mother conceived me.

6 Still, you want truth in the inner person; so make me know wisdom in my inmost heart.

7 Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

8 Let me hear the sound of joy and gladness, so that the bones you crushed can rejoice.

9 Turn away your face from my sins, and blot out all my crimes.

10 Create in me a clean heart, God; renew in me a resolute spirit.

11 Don't thrust me away from your presence, don't take your Ruach Kodesh away from me.

12 Restore my joy in your salvation, and let a willing spirit uphold me.

13 Then I will teach the wicked your ways, and sinners will return to you.

14 Rescue me from the guilt of shedding blood, God, God of my salvation! Then my tongue will sing about your righteousness

15 Adonai, open my lips; then my mouth will praise you.

16 For you don't want sacrifices, or I would give them; you don't take pleasure in burnt offerings.

17 My sacrifice to God is a broken spirit; God, you won't spurn a broken, chastened heart.

18 In your good pleasure, make Tziyon prosper; rebuild the walls of Yerushalayim.

19 Then you will delight in righteous sacrifices, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then they will offer bulls on your altar.

King James Version KJV

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

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

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

4 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

19 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.
