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.

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

4 Ref Against you, you only, have I done wrong, working that which is evil in your eyes; so that your words may be seen to be right, and you may be clear when you are judging.

5 Ref Truly, I was formed in evil, and in sin did my mother give me birth.

6 Ref Your desire is for what is true in the inner parts: in the secrets of my soul you will give me knowledge of wisdom.

7 Ref Make me free from sin with hyssop: let me be washed whiter than snow.

8 Ref Make me full of joy and rapture; so that the bones which have been broken may be glad.

9 Ref Let your face be turned from my wrongdoing, and take away all my sins.

10 Ref Make a clean heart in me, O God; give me a right spirit again.
