51:1 Show mercy upon me, oh God, according to your kindness, and according to the multitude of your mercies, blot out my sins!
51:2 Wash me completely from my evil, and purge me from my sins.
51:3 Because I know my crimes and my sins are always in front of me.
51:4 To you alone I have sinned and have committed wickedness before you, because you shall be just in your word and you shall conquer in your judgment.
51:5 Because in evil I was formed in the womb and in sin my mother conceived me.
51:6 But you have desired the truth and you have shown me the hidden things of your wisdom.
51:7 Sprinkle me with hyssop and I am pure; wash me in it and I shall be whiter than snow.
51:8 Satisfy me in your sweetness and your joy and my humble bones will rejoice.
51:9 Turn your face from my sins and erase all of my crimes.
51:10 Create in me a pure heart, oh, God, and renew your right Spirit within me.
51:11 Do not cast me out from before you and do not take your Holy Spirit from me.
51:12 But return your sweetness to me and your salvation and your glorious Spirit will hold me.
51:13 For I shall teach the evil your road and sinners will turn to you.
51:14 Save me from blood, my God, God of my salvation, and my tongue will praise your righteousness!
51:15 Lord Jehovah, open my lips for me, and my mouth will sing your glory.
51:16 Because you have not desired sacrifices, neither have you chosen burnt offerings.
51:17 The sacrifices of God are a humble spirit; God does not reject a broken heart.
51:18 Do good in your pleasure to Zion and build the walls of Jerusalem.
51:19 Then you will be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness and with burnt offerings; then they will offer bulls upon your altar.
