New Century Version

Psalms 51:1-6 New Century Version (NCV)

1. God, be merciful to mebecause you are loving.Because you are always ready to be merciful,wipe out all my wrongs.

2. Wash away all my guiltand make me clean again.

3. I know about my wrongs,and I can’t forget my sin.

4. You are the only one I have sinned against;I have done what you say is wrong.You are right when you speakand fair when you judge.

5. I was brought into this world in sin.In sin my mother gave birth to me.

6. You want me to be completely truthful,so teach me wisdom.
