Psalms 51:1

A Prayer of Repentance

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

1 Have mercy upon me, O God,
According to Your lovingkindness;
According to the multitude of Your tender mercies,
^aBlot out my transgressions.

2 ^aWash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
And cleanse me from my sin.

3 For I acknowledge my transgressions,
And my sin is always before me.

4 ^aAgainst You, You only, have I sinned,
And done this evil ^bin Your sight—
^cThat You may be found just¹ when You speak,
And blameless when You judge.

5 ^aBehold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
And in sin my mother conceived me.

6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.
