Psalm 51

Good News Translation GNT

1 Be merciful to me, O God, because of your constant love. Because of your great mercy wipe away my sins!

2 Wash away all my evil and make me clean from my sin!

3 I recognize my faults; I am always conscious of my sins.

4 I have sinned against you - only against you - and done what you consider evil. So you are right in judging me; you are justified in condemning me.

5 I have been evil from the day I was born; from the time I was conceived, I have been sinful.

6 Sincerity and truth are what you require; fill my mind with your wisdom.

7 Remove my sin, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

8 Let me hear the sounds of joy and gladness; and though you have crushed me and broken me, I will be happy once again.

9 Close your eyes to my sins and wipe out all my evil.

10 Create a pure heart in me, O God, and put a new and loyal spirit in me.

11 Do not banish me from your presence; do not take your holy spirit away from me.

12 Give me again the joy that comes from your salvation, and make me willing to obey you.

13 Then I will teach sinners your commands, and they will turn back to you.

14 Spare my life, O God, and save me, and I will gladly proclaim your righteousness.

15 Help me to speak, Lord, and I will praise you.

16 You do not want sacrifices, or I would offer them; you are not pleased with burnt offerings.

17 My sacrifice is a humble spirit, O God; you will not reject a humble and repentant heart.

18 O God, be kind to Zion and help her; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Then you will be pleased with proper sacrifices and with our burnt offerings; and bulls will be sacrificed on your altar.

2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity. Cleanse me from my sin.

3 For I know my transgressions. My sin is constantly before me.

4 Against you, and you only, have I sinned, And done that which is evil in your sight; That you may be proved right when you speak, And justified when you judge.

5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity. In sin did my mother conceive me.

6 Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

11 Don't throw me from your presence, And don't take your holy Spirit from me.

12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Uphold me with a willing spirit.

14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation. My tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

15 Lord, open my lips. My mouth shall declare your praise.

19 Then will you delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, In burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings. Then they will offer bulls on your altar.
