Psalms 51-1-13 KJV--1-- To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. 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.
