| [1]Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness: according to the multitude of thy compassions put away mine iniquities. |
[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]Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. |
[2]Thoroughly wash me from mine iniquity, And from my sin cleanse me, |
| [3]For I know mine iniquities, and my sin is ever before me. |
[3]For my transgressions I do know, And my sin [is] before me continually. |
| [4]Against thee, against thee only have I sinned, and done evil in thy sight, that thou mayest be just when thou speakest, and pure when thou judgest. |
[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]Behold, I was born in iniquity, and in sin hath my mother conceived me. |
[5]Lo, in iniquity I have been brought forth, And in sin doth my mother conceive me. |
| [6]Behold, thou lovest truth in the inward affections: therefore hast thou taught me wisdom in the secret of mine heart. |
[6]Lo, truth Thou hast desired in the inward parts, And in the hidden part Wisdom Thou causest me to know. |
| [7]Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter then snow. |
[7]Thou cleansest me with hyssop and I am clean, Washest me, and than snow I am whiter. |
| [8]Make me to hear joy and gladness, that the bones, which thou hast broken, may rejoice. |
[8]Thou causest me to hear joy and gladness, Thou makest joyful bones Thou hast bruised. |
| [9]Hide thy face from my sins, and put away all mine iniquities. |
[9]Hide Thy face from my sin. And all mine iniquities blot out. |
| [10]Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. |
[10]A clean heart prepare for me, O God, And a right spirit renew within me. |
| [11]Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thine holy spirit from 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 establish me with thy free spirit. |
[12]Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation, And a willing spirit doth sustain me. |
| [13]Then shall I teach thy ways unto the wicked, and sinners shall be converted unto thee. |
[13]I teach transgressors Thy ways, And sinners unto Thee do return. |
| [14]Deliver me from blood, O God, which art the God of my salvation, and my tongue shall sing joyfully of thy righteousness. |
[14]Deliver me from blood, O God, God of my salvation, My tongue singeth of Thy righteousness. |
| [15]Open thou my lips, O Lord, and my mouth shall show forth thy praise. |
[15]O Lord, my lips thou dost open, And my mouth declareth Thy praise. |
| [16]For thou desirest no sacrifice, though I would give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. |
[16]For Thou desirest not sacrifice, or I give [it], Burnt-offering Thou acceptest not. |
| [17]The sacrifices of God are a contrite spirit: a contrite and a broken heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. |
[17]The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit, A heart broken and bruised, O God, Thou dost not despise. |
| [18]Be favorable unto Zion for thy good pleasure: build the walls of Jerusalem. |
[18]Do good in Thy good pleasure with Zion, Thou dost build the walls of Jerusalem. |
| [19]Then shalt thou accept the sacrifices of righteousness, even the burnt offering and oblation: then shall they offer calves upon thine altar. |
[19]Then Thou desirest sacrifices of righteousness, Burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering, Then they offer bullocks on thine altar! |
