This is my prayer to thee my Lord......

 Psalm 51:1. <To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.> 1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
    2. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
    3. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin  is ever before me.
    4. 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.
    5. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
    6. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden  part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
    7. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
    8. Make me to hear joy and gladness;  that the bones  which thou hast broken may rejoice.
    9. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
   10. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
   11. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
   12. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me  with thy free spirit.
   13.  Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
   14. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation:  and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
   15. O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
   16. For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give  it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
   17. The sacrifices of God  are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
   18. Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
   19. Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
