Psalm 51:1-4, KJV 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. Psalm 51: 10-12, KJV 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. Psalm 51:15-17, KJV 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.    / @sacredsublimity   https://amzn.to/45VvqhJ “The Praying Man's Morning With God: 366 Days of Scripture-Inspired Journaling--The Whole Duty of Man” Paperback – Large Print https://amzn.to/45WVGIy “The Praying Woman's Morning with God: 366 Days of Scripture-Inspired Journaling” Paperback – Large Print DISCLAIMER: This video and description contain affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, I might receive a small commission depending on the country you are in.
