Psalm 50

1. Have mercy on me, O God, according to your great mercy; according to the multitude of your compassion blot out my transgressions.

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

3. For I know my transgression, and my sin is ever before me.

4. Against you only have I sinned, and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words, and prevail in your judgment.

5. Behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother bear me.

6. For you have loved the truth, and have made clear to me the hidden and obscure things of your wisdom.

7. You sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; you wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8. You make me hear joy and gladness, and my weak bones rejoice.

9. Turn your face away from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.

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

11. Cast me not away from your presence, and do not take your Holy Spirit from me.

12. Grant me the joy of your salvation, and sustain me with a governing spirit.

13. Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and the ungodly will turn to you.

14. Deliver me from bloodshed, O God, the God of my salvation; and my tongue shall rejoice in your righteousness.

15. O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will sing your praise.

16. For if you had desired sacrifice, I would have given it now, but you do not delight in burnt offerings.

17. For the sacrifice of God is a broken spirit; a contrite and humble heart God will not despise.

18. O Lord, in your good pleasure restore Zion, and let the walls of Jerusalem be built.

19. Then you will be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, with burnt offerings and with burnt offerings; then they will offer bullocks on your altar.
