Psalm 51

English Standard Version

from Crossway

Create in Me a Clean Heart, O God

1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy on me,[1] O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. (2Sa 12:1; Ps 4:1; Ps 51:9; Ps 106:45; Isa 43:25; Isa 44:22; Ac 3:19; Col 2:14) 2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! (Le 13:6; Ps 51:7; Isa 1:16; Jer 4:14; Mal 3:3; Ac 22:16; Heb 9:14; 1Jo 1:7; 1Jo 1:9) 3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. (Ps 32:5; Pr 28:13) 4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment. (Ge 20:6; Ge 39:9; 2Sa 12:13; Lu 15:18; Lu 15:21; Ro 3:4; 1Co 8:12) 5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. (Job 14:4; Job 15:14; Ro 5:12; Ro 5:19; Eph 2:3) 6 Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart. (Job 38:36) 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. (Ex 12:22; Le 14:4; Nu 19:18; Ps 51:2; Isa 1:18; Heb 9:19) 8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have broken rejoice. (Ps 35:10; Ps 44:19; Isa 38:13) 9 Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. (Ps 51:1; Jer 16:17) 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right[2] spirit within me. (1Sa 10:9; Ps 24:4; Jer 24:7; La 5:21; Eze 11:19; Eze 36:26; Mt 5:8; Ac 15:9; Eph 4:23) 11 Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. (2Ki 13:23; 2Ki 17:20; 2Ki 24:20; Ps 102:10; Jer 7:15; Ro 8:9; Eph 4:30) 12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. 13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you. (Lu 22:32) 14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, O God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness. (2Sa 11:17; 2Sa 12:9; Ps 24:5; Ps 35:28; Ps 71:8; Ps 71:15; Ps 71:24; 1Jo 1:9) 15 O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. 16 For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering. (Ps 40:6) 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. (Ps 34:18) 18 Do good to Zion in your good pleasure; build up the walls of Jerusalem; (Ps 69:35; Ps 122:6; Ps 147:2) 19 then will you delight in right sacrifices, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on your altar. (De 33:10; Ps 4:5; Mal 3:3)

Psalm 51

Nueva Versión Internacional

from Biblica
1 Ten compasión de mí, oh Dios, conforme a tu gran amor; conforme a tu inmensa bondad, borra mis transgresiones. 2 Lávame de toda mi maldad y límpiame de mi pecado. 3 Yo reconozco mis transgresiones; siempre tengo presente mi pecado. 4 Contra ti he pecado, sólo contra ti, y he hecho lo que es malo ante tus ojos; por eso, tu sentencia es justa, y tu juicio, irreprochable. 5 Yo sé que soy malo de nacimiento; pecador me concibió mi madre. 6 Yo sé que tú amas la verdad en lo íntimo; en lo secreto me has enseñado sabiduría. 7 Purifícame con hisopo, y quedaré limpio; lávame, y quedaré más blanco que la nieve. 8 Anúnciame gozo y alegría; infunde gozo en estos huesos que has quebrantado. 9 Aparta tu rostro de mis pecados y borra toda mi maldad. 10 Crea en mí, oh Dios, un corazón limpio, y renueva la firmeza de mi espíritu. 11 No me alejes de tu presencia ni me quites tu santo Espíritu. 12 Devuélveme la alegría de tu salvación; que un espíritu obediente me sostenga. 13 Así enseñaré a los transgresores tus caminos, y los pecadores se volverán a ti. 14 Dios mío, Dios de mi salvación, líbrame de derramar sangre, y mi lengua alabará tu justicia. 15 Abre, Señor, mis labios, y mi boca proclamará tu alabanza. 16 Tú no te deleitas en los sacrificios ni te complacen los holocaustos; de lo contrario, te los ofrecería. 17 El sacrificio que te agrada es un espíritu quebrantado; tú, oh Dios, no desprecias al corazón quebrantado y arrepentido. 18 En tu buena voluntad, haz que prospere Sión; levanta los muros de Jerusalén. 19 Entonces te agradarán los sacrificios de justicia, los holocaustos del todo quemados, y sobre tu altar se ofrecerán becerros.
