| 1 To the Overseer. A Psalm of David, in the coming inn unto him of Nathan the prophet, when he hath gone in unto Bath-Sheba. |
|
| Favour me, O God, according to Thy kindness, According to the abundance of Thy mercies, Blot out my transgressions. |
|
| 2 Thoroughly wash me from mine iniquity, And from my sin cleanse me, |
|
| 3 For my transgressions I do know, And my sin [is] before me continually. |
|
| 4 Against Thee, Thee only, I have sinned, And done the evil thing in Thine eyes, So that Thou art righteous in Thy words, Thou art pure in Thy judging. |
|
| 5 Lo, in iniquity I have been brought forth, And in sin doth my mother conceive me. |
|
| 6 Lo, truth Thou hast desired in the inward parts, And in the hidden part Wisdom Thou causest me to know. |
|
| 7 Thou cleansest me with hyssop and I am clean, Washest me, and than snow I am whiter. |
|
| 8 Thou causest me to hear joy and gladness, Thou makest joyful bones Thou hast bruised. |
|
| 9 Hide Thy face from my sin. And all mine iniquities blot out. |
|
| 10 A clean heart prepare for me, O God, And a right spirit renew within me. |
|
| 11 Cast me not forth from Thy presence, And Thy Holy Spirit take not from me. |
|
| 12 Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation, And a willing spirit doth sustain me. |
|
| 13 I teach transgressors Thy ways, And sinners unto Thee do return. |
|
| 14 Deliver me from blood, O God, God of my salvation, My tongue singeth of Thy righteousness. |
|
| 15 O Lord, my lips thou dost open, And my mouth declareth Thy praise. |
|
| 16 For Thou desirest not sacrifice, or I give [it], Burnt-offering Thou acceptest not. |
|
| 17 The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit, A heart broken and bruised, O God, Thou dost not despise. |
|
| 18 Do good in Thy good pleasure with Zion, Thou dost build the walls of Jerusalem. |
|
| 19 Then Thou desirest sacrifices of righteousness, Burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering, Then they offer bullocks on thine altar! |
