Psalms 51:1-5

CLV(i) 1 {A Davidic Psalm{ {When Nathan the prophet came to him after he had come to Bath-sheba.{ Be gracious to me, O Elohim, according to Your benignity; According to Your many compassions wipe out my transgressions." 2 Rinse me abundantly from my depravity, And from my sin cleanse me." 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is in front of me continually." 4 Against You, against You alone have I sinned And done what is evil in Your eyes, So that You may be justified when You speak, And be cleared when You judge." 5 Behold, I was with depravity when I was travailed in birth, And in sin when my mother conceived me."
