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.For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.Tunc acceptabis sacrificium iustitiæ, oblationes et holocausta tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus cor contritum et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies Non enim sacrificio delectaris holocaustum, si offeram, non placebit Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus, Deus salutis meæ, et exsultabit lingua mea iustitiam tuam Redde mihi lætitiam salutaris tui et spiritu promptissimo confirma me Ne proicias me a facie tua et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me Tibi, tibi soli peccavi et malum coram te feci, ut iustus inveniaris in sententia tua et æquus in iudicio tuo Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco, et peccatum meum contra me est semper. Miserere mei, Deus, secundum misericordiam tuam et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum dele iniquitatem meam Mentions of ritual washing with special herbs (verses 2, 7)įollowing is the Hebrew text of Psalm 51: Verse.Parallels between Psalm 51 and the Ancient Egyptian ritual text Opening of the mouth ceremony have been pointed out by scholar Benjamin Urrutia. According to James Montgomery Boice, this psalm was recited by both Thomas More and Lady Jane Grey at their executions. Athanasius would recommend that this chapter be recited each night by some of his disciples. Ĭharles Spurgeon says Psalm 51 is called "The Sinner's Guide", as it shows the sinner how to return to God's grace. The Talmud ( Yoma 86b) cites verse 5 in the Hebrew (verse 3 in English versions), "My sin is always before me", as a reminder to the penitent to maintain continual vigilance in the area in which he transgressed, even after he has confessed and been absolved. But one who tries to ignore his sin will be punished by God. The Midrash Tehillim states that one who acknowledges that he has sinned and is fearful and prays to God about it, as David did, will be forgiven. David's confession is regarded as a model for repentance in both Judaism and Christianity. Psalm 51 is based on the incident recorded in 2 Samuel, chapters 11–12.
