[1]To the chief MusicianH5329[H8764], A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732, when NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 cameH935[H8800] unto him, after he had gone inH935[H8804] to BathshebaH1339. Have mercyH2603[H8798] upon me, O GodH430, according to thy lovingkindnessH2617: according unto the multitudeH7230 of thy tender merciesH7356 blot outH4229[H8798] my transgressionsH6588.
[2]WashH3526[H8761] me throughlyH7235[H8685] from mine iniquityH5771, and cleanseH2891[H8761] me from my sinH2403.
[3]For I acknowledgeH3045[H8799] my transgressionsH6588: and my sinH2403 is ever before meH8548.
[4]Against thee, thee only, have I sinnedH2398[H8804], and doneH6213[H8804] this evilH7451 in thy sightH5869: that thou mightest be justifiedH6663[H8799] when thou speakestH1696[H8800], and be clearH2135[H8799] when thou judgestH8199.[H8800]
[5]Behold, I was shapenH2342[H8797] in iniquityH5771; and in sinH2399 did my motherH517 conceiveH3179 meH8765.
[6]Behold, thou desirestH2654[H8804] truthH571 in the inward partsH2910: and in the hiddenH5640[H8803] part thou shalt make me to knowH3045[H8686] wisdomH2451.
[7]PurgeH2398[H8762] me with hyssopH231, and I shall be cleanH2891[H8799]: washH3526[H8762] me, and I shall be whiterH3835[H8686] than snowH7950.
[8]Make me to hearH8085[H8686] joyH8342 and gladnessH8057; that the bonesH6106 which thou hast brokenH1794[H8765] may rejoiceH1523.[H8799]
[9]HideH5641[H8685] thy faceH6440 from my sinsH2399, and blot outH4229[H8798] all mine iniquitiesH5771.
[10]CreateH1254[H8798] in me a cleanH2889 heartH3820, O GodH430; and renewH2318[H8761] a rightH3559[H8737] spiritH7307 within meH7130.
[11]Cast me not awayH7993[H8686] from thy presenceH6440; and takeH3947[H8799] not thy holyH6944 spirit from meH7307.
[12]RestoreH7725[H8685] unto me the joyH8342 of thy salvationH3468; and upholdH5564[H8799] me with thy freeH5081 spiritH7307.
[13]Then will I teachH3925[H8762] transgressorsH6586[H8802] thy waysH1870; and sinnersH2400 shall be convertedH7725 unto theeH8799.
[14]DeliverH5337[H8685] me from bloodguiltinessH1818, O GodH430, thou GodH430 of my salvationH8668: and my tongueH3956 shall sing aloudH7442[H8762] of thy righteousnessH6666.
[15]O LordH136, openH6605[H8799] thou my lipsH8193; and my mouthH6310 shall shew forthH5046[H8686] thy praiseH8416.
[16]For thou desirestH2654[H8799] not sacrificeH2077; else would I giveH5414[H8799] it: thou delightestH7521[H8799] not in burnt offeringH5930.
[17]The sacrificesH2077 of GodH430 are a brokenH7665[H8737] spiritH7307: a brokenH7665[H8737] and a contriteH1794[H8737] heartH3820, O GodH430, thou wilt not despiseH959.[H8799]
[18]Do goodH3190[H8685] in thy good pleasureH7522 unto ZionH6726: buildH1129[H8799] thou the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389.
[19]Then shalt thou be pleasedH2654[H8799] with the sacrificesH2077 of righteousnessH6664, with burnt offeringH5930 and wholeH3632 burnt offeringH5930: then shall they offerH5927[H8686] bullocksH6499 upon thine altarH4196.
