Psalms 51: 3 - 6, 12 - 14, 17
|
| 3
|
For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.
|
| 4
|
Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in thy sight, so that thou art justified in thy sentence and blameless in thy judgment.
|
| 5
|
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
|
| 6
|
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward being; therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.
|
| 12
|
Restore to me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.
|
| 13
|
Then I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners will return to thee.
|
| 14
|
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of thy deliverance.
|
| 17
|
The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
