Psalms 50:2-14

²when Nathan the prophet came to him, when he had gone in to Bersabee.

³Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy great mercy; and according to the multitude of thy compassions blot out my transgression.

⁴Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

⁵For I am conscious of mine iniquity; and my sin is continually before me.

⁶Against thee only have I sinned, and done evil before thee: that thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

⁷For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me.

⁸For, behold, thou lovest truth: thou hast manifested to me the secret and hidden things of thy wisdom.

⁹Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.

¹⁰Thou shalt cause me to hear gladness and joy: the afflicted bones shall rejoice.

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

¹²Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit in my inward parts.

¹³Cast me not away from thy presence; and remove not thy Holy Spirit from me.

¹⁴Restore to me the joy of thy salvation: establish me with thy directing Spirit.
