Psalm 51: Create in Me a Clean Heart Lyrics

Have mercy on me o God
According to your steadfast love
According to
Your abundant mercy
And blot out my transgressions
Wash me thoroughly
From my iniquity
And cleanse me from my sin
For I know my transgressions
My sin is ever before me
To you alone
Against you I've sinned
Done evil in your sight
You are justified
And against me testified
I'm guilty since my birth

O Lord, open up my lips,
My mouth declares your praise
You don't delight in sacrifice
If I gave burnt offerings
You would not be pleased
The sacrifice you want
Is our hearts
You desire truth in my soul
Teach your wisdom to my heart
Purge me o Lord
And I shall be clean
And whiter more than snow
Let me hear glad joy
My crushed bones, let rejoice
And blot out all my sin
O Lord, open up my lips,
My mouth declares your praise
You don't delight in sacrifice
If I gave burnt offerings
You would not be pleased
The sacrifice you want
Is our hearts
Give me a clean heart, o God
And put a steadfast spirit in me
Don't cast me off
Send me from your presence
Don't take your spirit from me
Restore to me the joy
Salvation from the Lord
Give me a willing spirit
Then I will
Teach all of your ways
And sinners will return to you
Deliver me from bloodshed God
O God of my salvation
And my tongue will sing
Of deliverance you bring
O open up my lips
O Lord, open up my lips,
My mouth declares your praise
You don't delight in sacrifice
If I gave burnt offerings
You would not be pleased
The sacrifice you want
Is our hearts
