New International Reader's Version

Psalm 51:1-5 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. God, show me your favor in keeping with your faithful love. Because your love is so tender and kind, wipe out my lawless acts.

2. Wash away all of the evil things I've done. Make me pure from my sin.

3. I know the lawless acts I've committed. I can't forget my sin.

4. You are the one I've really sinned against. I've done what is evil in your sight. So you are right when you sentence me. You are fair when you judge me.

5. I know I've been a sinner ever since I was born. I've been a sinner ever since my mother became pregnant with me.
