Psalm 51:1-9
For the choir director. A Psalm of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.
1 Be gracious to me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; According to the abundance 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 transgressions, And my sin is ever before me.
4 Against You, You only, I have sinned And done what is evil in Your sight, So that You are justified when You speak And pure when You judge.
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.
6 Behold, You delight in truth in the innermost being, And in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom.
7 Purify 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, Let the bones which You have crushed rejoice.
9 Hide Your face from my sins And blot out all my iniquities.
