Psalm 51:9-19

New King James Version

⁹Hide Your face from my sins,
And blot out all my iniquities.

¹⁰^(A)Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
¹¹Do not cast me away from Your presence,
And do not take Your ^(B)Holy Spirit from me.

¹²Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
And uphold me by Your ^(C)generous Spirit.
¹³Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,
And sinners shall be converted to You.

¹⁴Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
The God of my salvation,
And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.
¹⁵O Lord, open my lips,
And my mouth shall show forth Your praise.
¹⁶For ^(D)You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it;
You do not delight in burnt offering.
¹⁷^(E)The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
A broken and a contrite heart—
These, O God, You will not despise.

¹⁸Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion;
Build the walls of Jerusalem.
¹⁹Then You shall be pleased with ^(F)the sacrifices of righteousness,
With burnt offering and whole burnt offering;
Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar.

Psalm 51:9-19

Young's Literal Translation

⁹Hide Thy face from my sin. And all mine iniquities blot out.

¹⁰A clean heart prepare for me, O God, And a right spirit renew within me.

¹¹Cast me not forth from Thy presence, And Thy Holy Spirit take not from me.

¹²Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation, And a willing spirit doth sustain me.

¹³I teach transgressors Thy ways, And sinners unto Thee do return.

¹⁴Deliver me from blood, O God, God of my salvation, My tongue singeth of Thy righteousness.

¹⁵O Lord, my lips thou dost open, And my mouth declareth Thy praise.

¹⁶For Thou desirest not sacrifice, or I give [it], Burnt-offering Thou acceptest not.

¹⁷The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit, A heart broken and bruised, O God, Thou dost not despise.

¹⁸Do good in Thy good pleasure with Zion, Thou dost build the walls of Jerusalem.

¹⁹Then Thou desirest sacrifices of righteousness, Burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering, Then they offer bullocks on thine altar!
