Psalms 51

Versículo 1. For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him after his adultery with Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your loving devotion; according to Your great compassion, blot out my transgressions.

Versículo 2. Wash me clean of my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.

Versículo 3. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.

Versículo 4. Against You, You only, have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You may be proved right when You speak and blameless when You judge.

Versículo 5. Surely I was brought forth in iniquity; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.

Versículo 6. Surely You desire truth in the inmost being; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

Versículo 7. Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

Versículo 8. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones You have crushed rejoice.

Versículo 9. Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities.

Versículo 10. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

Versículo 11. Cast me not away from Your presence; take not Your Holy Spirit from me.

Versículo 12. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit.

Versículo 13. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will return to You.

Versículo 14. Deliver me from bloodguilt, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing of Your righteousness.

Versículo 15. O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praise.

Versículo 16. For You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; You take no pleasure in burnt offerings.

Versículo 17. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.

Versículo 18. In Your good pleasure, cause Zion to prosper; build up the walls of Jerusalem.

Versículo 19. Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, in whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on Your altar.
