PURGE ME WITH HYSSOP AND I SHALL BE CLEAN

PSALM 51

HAVE MERCY UPON ME, 

O GOD, ACCORDING TO THY LOVINGKINDNESS: 
ACCORDING UNTO THE 

MULTITUDE OF THY TENDER 

MERCIES BLOT OUT MY 

TRANSGRESSIONS. 

WASH 

ME THROUGHLY FROM 

MINE INIQUITY, AND CLEANSE 

ME FROM MY SIN. 

FOR I ACKNOWLEDGE MY 

TRANSGRESSIONS: AND MY 

SIN IS EVER BEFORE ME. 

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. 

BEHOLD, 

I WAS SHAPEN IN INIQUITY; 

AND IN SIN DID MY MOTHER 

CONCEIVE ME. 

BEHOLD, 

THOU DESIREST TRUTH 

IN THE INWARD PARTS: 

AND IN THE HIDDEN PART 

THOU SHALT MAKE ME TO 

KNOW WISDOM. 

PURGE ME 

WITH HYSSOP, AND I SHALL 

BE CLEAN: 

WASH ME, 

AND I SHALL BE WHITER 

THAN SNOW.
MAKE ME TO HEAR 

JOY AND GLADNESS; 

THAT THE BONES WHICH 

THOU HAST BROKEN 

MAY REJOICE. 

HIDE THY FACE 

FROM MY SINS, 

AND BLOT OUT ALL 

MINE INIQUITIES.
CREATE IN ME A CLEAN 

HEART, O GOD; AND RENEW 

A RIGHT SPIRIT WITHIN ME.
CAST ME NOT AWAY FROM 

THY PRESENCE; AND 

TAKE NOT THY HOLY 

SPIRIT FROM ME.
RESTORE UNTO ME 

THE JOY OF THY SALVATION; 

AND UPHOLD ME 

WITH THY FREE SPIRIT. 

THEN WILL I TEACH 

TRANSGRESSORS THY WAYS; 

AND SINNERS SHALL 

BE CONVERTED UNTO THEE. 

DELIVER ME FROM 

BLOODGUILTINESS, O GOD, 

THOU GOD OF MY SALVATION: 

AND MY TONGUE SHALL SING  

ALOUD OF THY RIGHTEOUSNESS. 

O LORD, OPEN THOU MY LIPS; 

AND MY MOUTH SHALL SHEW 

FORTH THY PRAISE. 

FOR THOU DESIREST 

NOT SACRIFICE; 

ELSE WOULD I GIVE IT: 

THOU DELIGHTEST NOT 

IN BURNT OFFERING. 

THE SACRIFICES OF GOD 

ARE A BROKEN SPIRIT: 

A BROKEN AND A CONTRITE 

HEART, O GOD, THOU 

WILT NOT DESPISE. 

DO GOOD IN THY GOOD 

PLEASURE UNTO ZION: 

BUILD THOU 

THE WALLS OF JERUSALEM. 

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.
