Psalm 51:2-10 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

²Wash me clean of my iniquity

and cleanse me from my sin.

³For I know my transgressions,

and my sin is always before me.

⁴Against You, You only, have I sinned

and done what is evil in Your sight,

so that You may be proved right when You speak

and blameless when You judge.

⁵Surely I was brought forth in iniquity;

I was sinful when my mother conceived me.

⁶Surely You desire truth in the inmost being;

You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

⁷Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean;

wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

⁸Let me hear joy and gladness;

let the bones You have crushed rejoice.

⁹Hide Your face from my sins

and blot out all my iniquities.

¹⁰Create in me a clean heart, O God,

and renew a right spirit within me.

— Psalm 51:2-10
