51HAVE MERCY upon me, O God, according to Your steadfast love; according to the multitude of Your tender mercy {and} loving-kindness blot out my transgressions.H5329H4210H1732H5416H5030H935H935H1339H2603H430H2617H7230H7356H4229H6588

2Wash me thoroughly [and repeatedly] from my iniquity {and} guilt and cleanse me {and} make me wholly pure from my sin!H3526H7235H5771H2891H2403

3For I am conscious of my transgressions {and} I acknowledge them; my sin is ever before me.H3045H6588H2403H8548

4Against You, You only, have I sinned and done that which is evil in Your sight, so that You are justified in Your sentence and faultless in Your judgment.H2398H6213H7451H5869H6663H1696H2135H8199

5Behold, I was brought forth in [a state of] iniquity; my mother was sinful who conceived me [and I too am sinful].H2342H5771H2399H517H3179

6Behold, You desire truth in the inner being; make me therefore to know wisdom in my inmost heart.H2654H571H2910H5640H3045H2451

7Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean [ceremonially]; wash me, and I shall [in reality] be whiter than snow.H2398H231H2891H3526H3835H7950

8Make me to hear joy and gladness {and} be satisfied; let the bones which You have broken rejoice.H8085H8342H8057H6106H1794H1523

9Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my guilt {and} iniquities.H5641H6440H2399H4229H5771

10Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right, persevering, {and} steadfast spirit within me.H1254H2889H3820H430H2318H3559H7307H7130

11Cast me not away from Your presence and take not Your Holy Spirit from me.H7993H6440H3947H6944H7307

12Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and uphold me with a willing spirit.H7725H8342H3468H5564H5081H7307

13Then will I teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners shall be converted {and} return to You.H3925H6586H1870H2400H7725

14Deliver me from bloodguiltiness {and} death, O God, the God of my salvation, {and} my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness (Your rightness and Your justice).H5337H1818H430H430H8668H3956H7442H6666

15O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall show forth Your praise.H136H6605H8193H6310H5046H8416

16For You delight not in sacrifice, or else would I give it; You find no pleasure in burnt offering.H2654H2077H5414H7521H5930

17My sacrifice [the sacrifice acceptable] to God is a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart [broken down with sorrow for sin and humbly and thoroughly penitent], such, O God, You will not despise.H2077H430H7665H7307H7665H1794H3820H430H959

18Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.H3190H7522H6726H1129H2346H3389

19Then will You delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, justice, {and} right, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering; then bullocks will be offered upon Your altar.H2654H2077H6664H5930H3632H5930H5927H6499H4196
