Psalm 51, ESV
1 Have mercy on me, O God,
    according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy.  
   blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
    and cleanse me from my sin! 

  1. Mercy results from God’s , not ours.

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)


3 For I know my transgressions,
    and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned
    and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you may be justified in your words
    and blameless in your judgment.
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
    and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being,
    and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.

  1. We should confess our and our .

7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
    wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
    let the bones that you have broken rejoice.
9 Hide your face from my sins,
    and blot out all my iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
    and renew a right spirit within me.

  1. We should ask God to us.
  • God will you clean.
  • God will his face from your sins.
  • God will your sins.
  • God will give you a heart.

11 Cast me not away from your presence,
      and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
      and uphold me with a willing spirit.

  1. Forgiveness leads to renewal of with God, to God, and in God.

 13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
      and sinners will return to you.

14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God,
      O God of my salvation,
      and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.
15 O Lord, open my lips,
      and my mouth will declare your praise.
16 For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;
      you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
      a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

  1. Forgiveness leads to and .

18 Do good to Zion in your good pleasure;
      build up the walls of Jerusalem;
19 then will you delight in right sacrifices,
      in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings;
      then bulls will be offered on your altar.

  1. My personal, spiritual renewal can have an impact on .
