Psalmi_050 Chapter 1

…

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy great mercy; and according to the multitude of thy compassions blot out my transgression.

Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

For I am conscious of mine iniquity; and my sin is continually before me.

Against thee only have I sinned, and done evil before thee: that thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me.

For, behold, thou lovest truth: thou hast manifested to me the secret and hidden things of thy wisdom.

Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.

Thou shalt cause me to hear gladness and joy: the afflicted bones shall rejoice.

Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit in my inward parts.

Cast me not away from thy presence; and remove not thy holy Spirit from me.

Restore to me the joy of thy salvation: establish me with thy directing Spirit.

Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and ungodly men shall turn to thee.

Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation: and my tongue shall joyfully declare thy righteousness.

O Lord, thou shalt open my lips; and my mouth shall declare thy praise.

For if thou desiredst sacrifice, I would have given it: thou wilt not take pleasure in whole-burnt-offerings.

Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit: a broken and humbled heart God will not despise.

Do good, O Lord, to Sion in thy good pleasure; and let the walls of Jerusalem be built.

Then shalt thou be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, offering, and whole-burnt-sacrifices: then shall they offer calves upon thine altar.
