1 (51-1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David; (51-2) When Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. (51-3) Be gracious unto me, O God, according to Thy mercy; according to the multitude of Thy compassions blot out my transgressions. 2 (51-4) Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3 (51-5) For I know my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me. 4 (51-6) 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 in the right when Thou judgest. 5 (51-7) Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6 (51-8) Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts; make me, therefore, to know wisdom in mine inmost heart. 7 (51-9) Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 (51-10) Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast crushed may rejoice. 9 (51-11) Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10 (51-12) Create me a clean heart, O God; and renew a stedfast spirit within me. 11 (51-13) Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy holy spirit from me. 12 (51-14) Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and let a willing spirit uphold me. 13 (51-15) Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall return unto Thee. 14 (51-16) Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation; so shall my tongue sing aloud of Thy righteousness. 15 (51-17) O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall declare Thy praise. 16 (51-18) For Thou delightest not in sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering. 17 (51-19) The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise. 18 (51-20) Do good in Thy favour unto Zion; build Thou the walls of Jerusalem. 19 (51-21) Then wilt Thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt-offering and whole offering; then will they offer bullocks upon Thine altar.

How much availeth the Word of God to us for the correction of our life, both regarding His rewards to be expected, and His punishments to be feared, let each one measure in himself; and let him put his conscience without deceit before His eyes, and not flatter himself in a danger so great: for ye see that even our …

The sacrifice of God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart the Lord will not despise." Because, therefore, God stands in need of nothing, He declares in the preceding Psalm: "I will take no calves out of thine house, nor he-goats out of thy fold.
But if "I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me," where, I pray thee, O my God, where, Lord, or when was I, Thy servant, innocent?

… is this last lowliness of mind which that blessed prophet commends, picturing to us the temper that is not merely subdued, but utterly broken, when he saith, "The sacrifice for God is a contrite spirit, a contrite and an humble heart God will not despise." And the Three Children also offer this unto God as a great sacrifice, saying, "Nevertheless, …
