0. [To the chiefe musition, <BR />a psalme of Dauid when the prophete Nathan <BR />came vnto hym after he was gone in to Bethsabe.]
1. Haue mercie on me O Lorde accordyng to thy louyng kindnesse: accordyng vnto the multitudes of thy mercies wype out my wickednesse.
2. Washe me throughly from myne iniquitie: and clense me from my sinne.
3. For I do acknowledge my wickednesse: and my sinne is euer before me.
4. Agaynst thee, only agaynst thee I haue sinned and done this euyll in thy sight: that thou mightest be iustified in thy saying, and founde pure when thou art iudged.
5. Beholde, I was ingendred in iniquitie: and in sinne my mother conceaued me.
6. Neuerthelesse, lo thou requirest trueth in the inwarde partes [of me]: & [therfore] thou wylt make me learne wisdome in the secrete [part of myne heart.]
7. Purge thou me with hyssop and I shalbe cleane: washe thou me, and I shalbe whyter then snowe.
8. Make thou me to heare [some] ioy and gladnesse: let the bones reioyce which thou hast broken.
9. Turne thy face from my sinnes: and wype out all my misdeedes.
10. Make thou vnto me a cleane heart O Lorde: and renue thou a ryght spirite within me.
11. Cast me not away from thy presence: and take not thy holy spirite from me.
12. Geue me agayne the comfort of thy saluation: and confirme me with a free wyllyng spirite.
13. Then wyll I teache thy wayes vnto the wicked: and sinners shalbe conuerted vnto thee.
14. Deliuer me from blood O Lorde, the Lorde of my saluation: and my tongue shall sing with a ioyfull noyse of thy iustice.
15. O Lorde open thou my lippes: and my mouth shall set foorth thy prayse.
16. For thou desirest no sacrifice, els I would geue it thee: thou delightest not in a burnt offering.
17. Sacrifices for God is a mortified spirite: O Lorde thou wylt not despise a mortified and an humble heart.
18. Be thou beneficiall vnto Sion, according to thy gracious good wyll: buylde thou the walles of Hierusalem.
19. Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousnes, with burnt offeringes and oblations: then wyll they offer young bullockes vpon thyne aulter.
