- 1. <For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.><br>
Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions. - 2. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity. Cleanse me from my sin.
- 3. For I know my transgressions. My sin is constantly before me.
- 4. Against you, and you only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight; that you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.
- 5. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity. In sin my mother conceived me.
- 6. Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
- 7. Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
- 8. Let me hear joy and gladness, That the bones which you have broken may rejoice.
- 9. Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all of my iniquities.
- 10. Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.
- 11. Don't throw me from your presence, and don't take your holy Spirit from me.
- 12. Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Uphold me with a willing spirit.
- 13. Then I will teach transgressors your ways. Sinners shall be converted to you.
- 14. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation. My tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.
- 15. Lord, open my lips. My mouth shall declare your praise.
- 16. For you don't delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it. You have no pleasure in burnt offering.
- 17. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
- 18. Do well in your good pleasure to Zion. Build the walls of Jerusalem.
- 19. Then you will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings. Then they will offer bulls on your altar.
