Psalm 50

Psalm 50

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:
according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my
transgressions.

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

For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before
me.

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.

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother
conceive me.

Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the
hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I
shall be whiter than snow.

Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou
hast broken may rejoice.

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

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit
within me.

Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy
spirit from me.

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with
thy free spirit.

Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be
converted unto thee.

Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my
salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy
righteousness.

O LORD, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy
praise.

For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou
delightest not in burnt offering.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a
contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls
of Jerusalem.

Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of
righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering:
then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
