| [1]For the Leader. A Psalm of David; |
[No book] |
| [2]When Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. |
[No book] |
| [3]Be gracious unto me, O God, according to Thy mercy; according to the multitude of Thy compassions blot out my transgressions. |
[No book] |
| [4]Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. |
[No book] |
| [5]For I know my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me. |
[No book] |
| [6]Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in Thy sight; that Thou mayest be justified when Thou speakest, and be in the right when Thou judgest. |
[No book] |
| [7]Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. |
[No book] |
| [8]Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts; make me, therefore, to know wisdom in mine inmost heart. |
[No book] |
| [9]Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. |
[No book] |
| [10]Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast crushed may rejoice. |
[No book] |
| [11]Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all min iniquities. |
[No book] |
| [12]Create me a clean heart, O God; and renew a stedfast spirit within me. |
[No book] |
| [13]Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy holy spirit from me. |
[No book] |
| [14]Restore unto me the joy of Th salvation; and let a willing spirit uphold me. |
[No book] |
| [15]Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall return unto Thee. |
[No book] |
| [16]Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation; so shall my tongue sing aloud of Thy righteousness. |
[No book] |
| [17]O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall declare Thy praise. |
[No book] |
| [18]For Thou delightest not in sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering. |
[No book] |
| [19]The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise. |
[No book] |
| [20]Do good in Thy favour unto Zion; build Thou the walls of Jerusalem. |
[No book] |
| [21]Then wilt Thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt-offering and whole offering; then will they offer bullocks upon Thine altar. |
