Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins. |
2
|
Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sin. |
3
|
For I recognize my rebellion; it haunts me day and night. |
4
|
Against you, and you alone, have I sinned; I have done what is evil in your sight. You will be proved right in what you say, and your judgment against me is just. |
5
|
For I was born a sinner-- yes, from the moment my mother conceived me. |
6
|
But you desire honesty from the womb, teaching me wisdom even there. |
7
|
Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. |
8
|
Oh, give me back my joy again; you have broken me-- now let me rejoice. |
9
|
Don't keep looking at my sins. Remove the stain of my guilt. |
10
|
Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. |
11
|
Do not banish me from your presence, and don't take your Holy Spirit from me. |
12
|
Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you. |
13
|
Then I will teach your ways to rebels, and they will return to you. |
14
|
Forgive me for shedding blood, O God who saves; then I will joyfully sing of your forgiveness. |
15
|
Unseal my lips, O Lord, that my mouth may praise you. |
16
|
You do not desire a sacrifice, or I would offer one. You do not want a burnt offering. |
17
|
The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God. |
18
|
Look with favor on Zion and help her; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. |
19
|
Then you will be pleased with sacrifices offered in the right spirit-- with burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings. Then bulls will again be sacrificed on your altar. For the choir director: A psalm of David, regarding the time Doeg the Edomite said to Saul, "David has gone to see Ahimelech." |
