1. To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. Image | |
2. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. Image | |
3. For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is always before me. Image | |
4. Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight-- That You may be found just when You speak, And blameless when You judge. | |
5. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me. | |
6. Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom. | |
7. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Image | Song | |
8. Make me hear joy and gladness, That the bones You have broken may 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 steadfast spirit within me. Image | |
11. Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. | |
12. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit. | |
13. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You. | |
14. Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness. | |
15. O Lord, open my lips, And my mouth shall show forth Your praise. | |
16. For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering. | |
17. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart-- These, O God, You will not despise. Image | |
18. Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion; Build the walls of Jerusalem. | |
19. Then You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, With burnt offering and whole burnt offering; Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar. |
