Compare: Psalm 51

ASV

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: According to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

ASV

Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.

ASV

For I know my transgressions; And my sin is ever before me.

ASV

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, And done that which is evil in thy sight; That thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, And be clear when thou judgest.

ASV

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity; And in sin did my mother conceive me.

ASV

Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts; And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom.

ASV

Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

ASV

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

ASV

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

ASV

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

ASV

Cast me not away from thy presence; And take not thy holy Spirit from me.

ASV

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; And uphold me with a willing spirit.

ASV

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

ASV

Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation; [And] my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

ASV

O Lord, open thou my lips; And my mouth shall show forth thy praise.

ASV

For thou delightest not in sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.

ASV

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

ASV

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

ASV

Then wilt thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, In burnt-offering and whole burnt-offering: Then will they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
