51:1 To the chief Musician 5329 8764, A Psalm 4210 of David 1732, when Nathan 5416 the prophet 5030 came 935 8800 unto him, after he had gone in 935 8804 to Bathsheba 1339. Have mercy 2603 8798 upon me, O God 430, according to thy lovingkindness 2617: according unto the multitude 7230 of thy tender mercies 7356 blot out 4229 8798 my transgressions 6588.

51:2 Wash 3526 8761 me throughly 7235 8685 from mine iniquity 5771, and cleanse 2891 8761 me from my sin 2403.

51:3 For I acknowledge 3045 8799 my transgressions 6588: and my sin 2403 [is] ever 8548 before me.

51:4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned 2398 8804, and done 6213 8804 [this] evil 7451 in thy sight 5869: that thou mightest be justified 6663 8799 when thou speakest 1696 8800, [and] be clear 2135 8799 when thou judgest 8199 8800.

51:5 Behold, I was shapen 2342 8797 in iniquity 5771; and in sin 2399 did my mother 517 conceive 3179 8765 me.(conceive…: Heb. warm me)

51:6 Behold, thou desirest 2654 8804 truth 571 in the inward parts 2910: and in the hidden 5640 8803 [part] thou shalt make me to know 3045 8686 wisdom 2451.

51:7 Purge 2398 8762 me with hyssop 231, and I shall be clean 2891 8799: wash 3526 8762 me, and I shall be whiter 3835 8686 than snow 7950.

51:8 Make me to hear 8085 8686 joy 8342 and gladness 8057; [that] the bones 6106 [which] thou hast broken 1794 8765 may rejoice 1523 8799.

51:9 Hide 5641 8685 thy face 6440 from my sins 2399, and blot out 4229 8798 all mine iniquities 5771.

51:10 Create 1254 8798 in me a clean 2889 heart 3820, O God 430; and renew 2318 8761 a right 3559 8737 spirit 7307 within 7130 me.(right: or, constant)

51:11 Cast me not away 7993 8686 from thy presence 6440; and take 3947 8799 not thy holy 6944 spirit 7307 from me.

51:12 Restore 7725 8685 unto me the joy 8342 of thy salvation 3468; and uphold 5564 8799 me [with thy] free 5081 spirit 7307.

51:13 [Then] will I teach 3925 8762 transgressors 6586 8802 thy ways 1870; and sinners 2400 shall be converted 7725 8799 unto thee.

51:14 Deliver 5337 8685 me from bloodguiltiness 1818, O God 430, thou God 430 of my salvation 8668: [and] my tongue 3956 shall sing aloud 7442 8762 of thy righteousness 6666.(bloodguiltiness: Heb. bloods)

51:15 O Lord 136, open 6605 8799 thou my lips 8193; and my mouth 6310 shall shew forth 5046 8686 thy praise 8416.

51:16 For thou desirest 2654 8799 not sacrifice 2077; else would I give 5414 8799 [it]: thou delightest 7521 8799 not in burnt offering 5930.(else…: or, that I should)

51:17 The sacrifices 2077 of God 430 [are] a broken 7665 8737 spirit 7307: a broken 7665 8737 and a contrite 1794 8737 heart 3820, O God 430, thou wilt not despise 959 8799.

51:18 Do good 3190 8685 in thy good pleasure 7522 unto Zion 6726: build 1129 8799 thou the walls 2346 of Jerusalem 3389.
