Hegesippus
[For the end, a Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, when he had gone to Bersabee.]
[1]Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy great mercy; and according to the multitude of thy compassions blot out my transgression. [No book]
[2]Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. [No book]
[3]For I am conscious of mine iniquity; and my sin is continually before me. [No book]
[4]Against thee only have I sinned, and done evil before thee: that thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. [No book]
[5]For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me. [No book]
[6]For, behold, thou lovest truth: thou hast manifested to me the secret and hidden things of thy wisdom. [No book]
[7]Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow. [No book]
[8]Thou shalt cause me to hear gladness and joy: the afflicted bones shall rejoice. [No book]
[9]Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. [No book]
[10]Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit in my inward parts. [No book]
[11]Cast me not away from thy presence; and remove not thy holy Spirit from me. [No book]
[12]Restore to me the joy of thy salvation: establish me with thy directing Spirit. [No book]
[13]Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and ungodly men shall turn to thee. [No book]
[14]Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation: and my tongue shall joyfully declare thy righteousness. [No book]
[15]O Lord, thou shalt open my lips; and my mouth shall declare thy praise. [No book]
[16]For if thou desiredst sacrifice, I would have given it: thou wilt not take pleasure in whole-burnt-offerings. [No book]
[17]Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit: a broken and humbled heart God will not despise. [No book]
[18]Do good, O Lord, to Sion in thy good pleasure; and let the walls of Jerusalem be built. [No book]
[19]Then shalt thou be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, offering, and whole-burnt-sacrifices: then shall they offer calves upon thine altar. [No book]
