Psalms 51

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

4 Ref Against Thee, Thee only, I have sinned, And done the evil thing in Thine eyes, So that Thou art righteous in Thy words, Thou art pure in Thy judging.

5 Ref Lo, in iniquity I have been brought forth, And in sin doth my mother conceive me.

6 Ref Lo, truth Thou hast desired in the inward parts, And in the hidden part Wisdom Thou causest me to know.

7 Ref Thou cleansest me with hyssop and I am clean, Washest me, and than snow I am whiter.

8 Ref Thou causest me to hear joy and gladness, Thou makest joyful bones Thou hast bruised.

9 Ref Hide Thy face from my sin. And all mine iniquities blot out.

10 Ref A clean heart prepare for me, O God, And a right spirit renew within me.

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

4 Ref Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, And done that which is evil in thy sight; That thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, And be clear when thou judgest.

5 Ref Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity; And in sin did my mother conceive me.

6 Ref Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts; And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom.

7 Ref Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8 Ref Make me to hear joy and gladness, That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

9 Ref Hide thy face from my sins, And blot out all mine iniquities.

10 Ref Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me.
