Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

Psalms 51

1 David prayeth for remission of sins, whereof he maketh a deep confession. 6 He prayeth for sanctification. 16 God delighteth not in sacrifice, but in sincerity. 18 He prayeth for the Church.

 51:1 ¶ [[To the chief Musician, 5329 z8764 A Psalm 4210 of David, 1732 when Nathan 5416 the prophet 5030 came 935 z8800 unto x413 him, after x834 he had gone in 935 z8804 to x413 Bathsheba.]] 1339 Have mercy 2603 z8798 upon me, O God, 430 according to thy lovingkindness: 2617 according unto the multitude 7230 of thy tender mercies 7356 blot out 4229 z8798 my transgressions. 6588

 51:2 Wash 3526 z8761 me throughly 7235 z8685 from mine iniquity, 5771 x4480 and cleanse 2891 z8761 me from my sin. 2403 x4480

 51:3 For x3588 I x589 acknowledge 3045 z8799 my transgressions: 6588 and my sin 2403 [is] ever 8548 before x5048 me.

 51:4 Against thee, thee only, x905 have I sinned, 2398 z8804 and done 6213 z8804 [this] evil 7451 in thy sight: 5869 that x4616 thou mightest be justified 6663 z8799 when thou speakest, 1696 z8800 [and] be clear 2135 z8799 when thou judgest. 8199 z8800

 51:5 Behold, x2005 I was shapen 2342 z8797 in iniquity; 5771 and in sin 2399 did my mother 517 conceive 3179 z8765 me.

 51:6 Behold, x2005 thou desirest 2654 z8804 truth 571 in the inward parts: 2910 and in the hidden 5640 z8803 [part] thou shalt make me to know 3045 z8686 wisdom. 2451

 51:7 Purge 2398 z8762 me with hyssop, 231 and I shall be clean: 2891 z8799 wash 3526 z8762 me, and I shall be whiter 3835 z8686 than snow. 7950 x4480

 51:8 Make me to hear 8085 z8686 joy 8342 and gladness; 8057 [that] the bones 6106 [which] thou hast broken 1794 z8765 may rejoice. 1523 z8799

 51:9 Hide 5641 z8685 thy face 6440 from my sins, 2399 x4480 and blot out 4229 z8798 all x3605 mine iniquities. 5771

 51:10 Create 1254 z8798 in me a clean 2889 heart, 3820 O God; 430 and renew 2318 z8761 a right 3559 z8737 spirit 7307 within 7130 me.

 51:11 Cast x7993 me not x408 away y7993 z8686 from thy presence; 6440 x4480 and take 3947 z8799 not x408 thy holy 6944 spirit 7307 from x4480 me.

 51:12 Restore 7725 z8685 unto me the joy 8342 of thy salvation; 3468 and uphold 5564 z8799 me [with thy] free y5081 x5082 spirit. 7307

 51:13 [Then] will I teach 3925 z8762 transgressors 6586 z8802 thy ways; 1870 and sinners 2400 shall be converted 7725 z8799 unto x413 thee.

 51:14 Deliver 5337 z8685 me from bloodguiltiness, 1818 x4480 O God, 430 thou God 430 of my salvation: 8668 [and] my tongue 3956 shall sing aloud 7442 z8762 of thy righteousness. 6666

 51:15 O Lord, 136 open 6605 z8799 thou my lips; 8193 and my mouth 6310 shall shew forth 5046 z8686 thy praise. 8416

 51:16 For x3588 thou desirest 2654 z8799 not x3808 sacrifice; 2077 else would I give 5414 z8799 [it]: thou delightest 7521 z8799 not x3808 in burnt offering. 5930

 51:17 The sacrifices 2077 of God 430 [are] a broken 7665 z8737 spirit: 7307 a broken 7665 z8737 and a contrite 1794 z8737 heart, 3820 O God, 430 thou wilt not x3808 despise. 959 z8799

 51:18 Do good 3190 z8685 in thy good pleasure 7522 unto x853 Zion: 6726 build 1129 z8799 thou the walls 2346 of Jerusalem. 3389

 51:19 Then x227 shalt thou be pleased 2654 z8799 with the sacrifices 2077 of righteousness, 6664 with burnt offering 5930 and whole y3632 burnt offering: y5930 x3632 then x227 shall they offer 5927 z8686 bullocks 6499 upon x5921 thine altar. 4196
