49:23. The sacrifice of praise shall glorify me: and there is the way by which I will shew him the salvation of God. Psalms Chapter 50 Miserere. The repentance and confession of David after his sin. The fourth penitential psalm. 50:1. Unto the end, a psalm of David, 50:2. When Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had sinned with Bethsabee. [2 Kings 12.] 50:3. Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy. And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my iniquity. 50:4. Wash me yet more from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 50:5. For I know my iniquity, and my sin is always before me. 50:6. To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee: that thou mayst be justified in thy words, and mayst overcome when thou art judged. 50:7. For behold I was conceived in iniquities; and in sins did my mother conceive me. 50:8. For behold thou hast loved truth: the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me. 50:9. Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow. 50:10. To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice. 50:11. Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. 50:12. Create a clean heart in me, O God: and renew a right spirit within my bowels. 50:13. Cast me not away from thy face; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 50:14. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and strengthen me with a perfect spirit. 50:15. I will teach the unjust thy ways: and the wicked shall be converted to thee. 50:16. Deliver me from blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall extol thy justice. 50:17. O Lord, thou wilt open my lips: and my mouth shall declare thy praise. 50:18. For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: with burnt offerings thou wilt not be delighted. 50:19. A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 50:20. Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion; that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up. 50:21. Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole burnt offerings: then shall they lay calves upon thy altar. Psalms Chapter 51 Quid gloriaris. David condemneth the wickedness of Doeg, and foretelleth his destruction. 51:1. Unto the end, understanding for David, 51:2. When Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul: David went to the house of Achimelech. 51:3. Why dost thou glory in malice, thou that art mighty in iniquity? 51:4. All the day long thy tongue hath devised injustice: as a sharp razor, thou hast wrought deceit. 51:5. Thou hast loved malice more than goodness: and iniquity rather than to speak righteousness. 51:6. Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, O deceitful tongue.
