CHAP. LI.

1 Dauid prayeth for remission of sinnes, whereof he maketh a deepe confession. 6 Hee prayeth for sanctification. 16 God delighteth not in sacrifice, but in sinceritie. 18 Hee prayeth for the Church.

¹[To the chiefe Musician. A Psalme of Dauid, when Nathan the Prophet came vnto him, after hee had gone in to Bath-sheba.] Haue mercie vpon mee, O God, according to thy louing kindnesse: according vnto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

²Wash mee throughly from mine iniquitie, and clense me from my sinne.

³For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sinne is euer before mee.

⁴Against thee, thee onely haue I sinned, and done this euill in thy sight: that thou mightest bee iustified when thou speakest, and be cleare when thou iudgest.⁴

⁵Behold, I was shapen in iniquitie: and in sinne did my mother conceiue me.⁵

⁶Behold, thou desirest trueth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisedome.

⁷Purge me with hyssope, and I shalbe cleane: wash me, and I shall be whiter then snow.⁷

⁸Make mee to heare ioy and gladnesse: that the bones which thou hast broken, may reioyce.

⁹Hide thy face from my sinnes; and blot out all mine iniquities.

¹⁰Create in mee a cleane heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within mee.¹⁰

¹¹Cast mee not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy Spirit from me.

¹²Restore vnto me the ioy of thy saluation: and vphold mee with thy free Spirit.

¹³Then will I teach transgressours thy wayes, and sinners shalbe conuerted vnto thee.

¹⁴Deliuer mee from blood-guiltinesse, O God, thou God of my saluation: and my tongue shall sing alowd of thy righteousnesse.¹⁴

¹⁵O Lord open thou my lips, and my mouth shall shew foorth thy praise.

¹⁶For thou desirest not sacrifice: else would I giue it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.¹⁶

¹⁷The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.¹⁷

¹⁸Doe good in thy good pleasure vnto Sion: build thou the walles of Ierusalem.

¹⁹Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousnesse, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullockes vpon thine altar.
