Psalm 51 - Jubilee Bible 2000 (JUB)

To the Overcomer, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

1 ¶ Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy mercy; according unto the multitude of thy compassion eradicate my rebellion.

2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.

3 For I acknowledge my rebellion; and my sin is ever before me.

4 Against thee, against thee only, have I sinned and done this evil in thy sight that thou be declared just in thy word and pure in thy judgment.

5 Behold, the pain of my iniquity has caused me to writhe; my mother conceived me so that sin might be removed from me.

6 Behold, thou dost desire truth in the inward parts, and in the secret things thou hast made me to know wisdom.

7 ¶ Remove the sin in 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 eradicate all my 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 saving health, and thy spirit of liberty shall uphold me.

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

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

15 O Lord, open my lips; and my mouth shall show forth thy praise.

16 For thou dost not desire sacrifice or else would I give it; thou dost not delight in burnt offering.

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

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

19 Then thou shalt be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, the burnt offering, the offering that has been totally consumed by the fire; then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
