51[For the choir director: A psalm of David, regarding the time Nathan the prophet came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.] Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins.H5329H4210H1732H5416H5030H935H935H1339H2603H430H2617H7230H7356H4229H6588 2Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sin.H3526H7235H5771H2891H2403 3For I recognize my rebellion; it haunts me day and night.H3045H6588H2403H8548 4Against you, and you alone, have I sinned; I have done what is evil in your sight. You will be proved right in what you say, and your judgment against me is just.H2398H6213H7451H5869H6663H1696H2135H8199 5For I was born a sinner—yes, from the moment my mother conceived me.H2342H5771H2399H517H3179 6But you desire honesty from the womb, teaching me wisdom even there.H2654H571H2910H5640H3045H2451 7Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.H2398H231H2891H3526H3835H7950 8Oh, give me back my joy again; you have broken me—now let me rejoice.H8085H8342H8057H6106H1794H1523 9Don’t keep looking at my sins. Remove the stain of my guilt.H5641H6440H2399H4229H5771 10Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me.H1254H2889H3820H430H2318H3559H7307H7130 11Do not banish me from your presence, and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me.H7993H6440H3947H6944H7307 12Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you.H7725H8342H3468H5564H5081H7307 13Then I will teach your ways to rebels, and they will return to you.H3925H6586H1870H2400H7725 14Forgive me for shedding blood, O God who saves; then I will joyfully sing of your forgiveness.H5337H1818H430H430H8668H3956H7442H6666 15Unseal my lips, O Lord, that my mouth may praise you.H136H6605H8193H6310H5046H8416 16You do not desire a sacrifice, or I would offer one. You do not want a burnt offering.H2654H2077H5414H7521H5930 17The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God.H2077H430H7665H7307H7665H1794H3820H430H959 18Look with favor on Zion and help her; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.H3190H7522H6726H1129H2346H3389 19Then you will be pleased with sacrifices offered in the right spirit—with burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings. Then bulls will again be sacrificed on your altar.H2654H2077H6664H5930H3632H5930H5927H6499H4196
