The King James Version Bible

Psalms 51:7-19

  1. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

  2. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

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

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

  5. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

  6. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

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

  8. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

  9. O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

  10. For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.

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

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

  13. Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
