51 Be merciful to me, O God, because of your constant love.Because of your great mercy wipe away my sins!2 Wash away all my evil and make me clean from my sin!3 I recognize my faults; I am always conscious of my sins.4 I have sinned against you—only against you— and done what you consider evil.So you are right in judging me; you are justified in condemning me.5 I have been evil from the day I was born; from the time I was conceived, I have been sinful.6 Sincerity and truth are what you require; fill my mind with your wisdom.7 Remove my sin, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.8 Let me hear the sounds of joy and gladness; and though you have crushed me and broken me, I will be happy once again.9 Close your eyes to my sins and wipe out all my evil.10 Create a pure heart in me, O God, and put a new and loyal spirit in me.11 Do not banish me from your presence; do not take your holy spirit away from me.12 Give me again the joy that comes from your salvation, and make me willing to obey you.13 Then I will teach sinners your commands, and they will turn back to you.14 Spare my life, O God, and save me,[b] and I will gladly proclaim your righteousness.15 Help me to speak, Lord, and I will praise you.16 You do not want sacrifices, or I would offer them;you are not pleased with burnt offerings.17 My sacrifice is a humble spirit, O God; you will not reject a humble and repentant heart.18 O God, be kind to Zion and help her; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.19 Then you will be pleased with proper sacrifices and with our burnt offerings; and bulls will be sacrificed on your altar.
