Psalms 51
51:1 -
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude
of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
51:2 -
Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
51:3 -
For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
51:4 -
Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be
justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
51:5 -
Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
51:6 -
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to
know wisdom.
51:7 -
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
51:8 -
Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
51:9 -
Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
51:10 -
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
51:11 -
Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
51:12 -
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
51:13 -
Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
51:14 -
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing
aloud of thy righteousness.
51:15 -
O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
51:16 -
For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
51:17 -
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not
despise.
51:18 -
Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
51:19 -
Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole
burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
1 John 1: 4 - 9
1:4 -
And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
1:5 -
This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light,
and in him is no darkness at all.
1:6 -
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
1:7 -
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the
blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
1:8 -
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1:9 -
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.
