1. HAVE mercy
upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the
multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
4. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy
sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear
when thou judgest.
5. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive
me.
6. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden
part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7. Purge 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; that the bones which thou hast
broken may rejoice.
9. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within
me.
11. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit
from me.
12. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy
free spirit.
13. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be
converted unto thee.
14. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation:
and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
15. O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
16. For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou
delightest not in burnt offering.
17. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite
heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
18. Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of
Jerusalem.
19. 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.
Psalm 52
1. WHY
boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God
endureth continually.
2. Thy tongue devisesth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working
deceitfully.
3. Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak
righteousness. Selah.
4. Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
5. God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away,
and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land
of the living. Selah.
6. The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
7. Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in
the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.
8. But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the
mercy of God for ever and ever.
9. I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will
wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.
Psalm 53
1. THE fool
hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and
have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
2. God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there
were any that did understand, that did seek God.
3. Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy;
there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4. Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as
they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
5. There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath
scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put
them to shame, because God hath despised them.
7. Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God
bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and
Israel shall be glad.
