Psalm 50

50 Unto the end, a psalm of David,

When Nathan the prophet came to him after he had sinned with Bethsabee.

Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy. And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my iniquity.

Wash me yet more from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

For I know my iniquity, and my sin is always before me.

To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee: that thou mayst be justified in thy words and mayst overcome when thou art judged.

For behold I was conceived in iniquities; and in sins did my mother conceive me.

For behold thou hast loved truth: the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me.

Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.

10 To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.

11 Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.

12 Create a clean heart in me, O God: and renew a right spirit within my bowels.

13 Cast me not away from thy face; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

14 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and strengthen me with a perfect spirit.

15 I will teach the unjust thy ways: and the wicked shall be converted to thee.

16 Deliver me from blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall extol thy justice.

17 O Lord, thou wilt open my lips: and my mouth shall declare thy praise.

18 For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: with burnt offerings thou wilt not be delighted.

19 A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

20 Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion; that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.

21 Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole burnt offerings: then shall they lay calves upon thy altar.

Psalm 53

53 Unto the end, In verses, understanding for David.

When the men of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us?

Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength.

O God, hear my prayer: give ear to the words of my mouth.

For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.

For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul.

Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off in thy truth.

I will freely sacrifice to thee, and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good:

For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies.

Psalm 60

60 Unto the end, in hymns, for David.

Hear, O God, my supplication: be attentive to my prayer,

To thee have I cried from the ends of the earth: when my heart was in anguish, thou hast exalted me on a rock. Thou hast conducted me;

For thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against the face of the enemy.

In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings.

For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.

Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation.

He abideth for ever in the sight of God: his mercy and truth who shall search?

So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: that I may pay my vows from day to day.

Psalm 75

75 Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians.

In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.

And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:

There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.

Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

All the foolish of heart were troubled. They have slept their sleep; and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.

Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.

Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,

10 When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.

11 For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.

12 Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,

13 Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
