Basic HTML Version
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.
CHAPTER 52
Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God
endureth
continually.
2
Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp rasor, working deceitfully.
3
Thou lovest evil more than good;
and
lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.
4
Thou lovest all devouring words, O
thou
deceitful tongue.
5
God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of
thy
dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.
6
The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
7
Lo,
this is
the man
that
made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his
riches,
and
strengthened himself in his wickedness.
8
But I
am
like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever
and ever.
9
I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done
it:
and I will wait on thy name; for
it is
good before thy saints.
CHAPTER 53
The fool hath said in his heart,
There is
no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable
iniquity:
there is
none that doeth good.
2
God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were
any
that did
understand, that did seek God.
