Psalms 51:5-19 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

5. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

6. Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part you shall make me to know wisdom.

7. Purge 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 you have broken may rejoice.

9. Hide your face from my sins, and blot out 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 your presence; and take not your holy Spirit from me.

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

13. Then will I teach transgressors your ways; and sinners shall be converted unto you.

14. Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

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

16. For you desire not sacrifice; else would I give it: you delight not in burnt offering.

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

18. Do good in your good pleasure unto Zion: build you the walls of Jerusalem.

19. Then shall you be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon your altar.
