TO THE CHOIRMASTER. A PSALM OF DAVID, WHEN NATHAN THE PROPHET WENT TO HIM, AFTER HE HAD GONE IN TO BATHSHEBA. Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. |
2
|
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! |
3
|
For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. |
4
|
Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment. |
5
|
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. |
6
|
Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart. |
7
|
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. |
8
|
Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have broken rejoice. |
9
|
Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. |
10
|
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. |
11
|
Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. |
12
|
Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. |
13
|
Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you. |
14
|
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, O God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness. |
15
|
O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. |
16
|
For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering. |
17
|
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. |
18
|
Do good to Zion in your good pleasure; build up the walls of Jerusalem; |
19
|
then will you delight in right sacrifices, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on your altar. |
