Tehillim51
Psalms · Chapter 51
Have mercy upon me, O Elohim, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin
is ever before me.
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.
Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden
part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Make me to hear joy and gladness;
that the bones
which
thou hast broken may rejoice.
Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O Elohim; and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy ruach haqodesh from me.
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me
with thy
free spirit.
Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O Elohim, thou Elohim of my salvation:
and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
O master, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give
it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
The sacrifices of Elohim
are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O Elohim, thou wilt not despise.
Do good in thy good pleasure unto Tsiyon: build thou the walls of Yerushalayim.
Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

Tehillim52
Psalms · Chapter 52
Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of Elohim
endureth
continually.
Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp rasor, working deceitfully.
Thou lovest evil more than good;
and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.
Thou lovest all devouring words, O
thou deceitful tongue.
Elohim shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of
thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.
The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
Lo,
this is the man
that made not Elohim his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches,
and strengthened himself in his wickedness.
But I
am like a green olive tree in the house of Elohim: I trust in the mercy of Elohim for ever and ever.
I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done
it: and I will wait on thy name; for
it is good before thy saints.

Tehillim53
Psalms · Chapter 53
The fool hath said in his heart,
There is no Elohim. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity:
there is none that doeth good.
Elohim looked down from shamayim upon the children of men, to see if there were
any that did understand, that did seek Elohim.
Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy;
there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people
as they eat bread: they have not called upon Elohim.
There were they in great fear,
where no fear was: for Elohim hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth
against thee: thou hast put
them to shame, because Elohim hath despised them.
Oh that the salvation of Yisra'el
were come out of Tsiyon! When Elohim bringeth back the captivity of his people, Ya'aqov shall rejoice,
and
Yisra'el shall be glad.
