|
|
|
1 |
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy
lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out
my transgressions.
|
|
|
2 |
Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me
from my sin.
|
|
3 |
For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever
before me.
|
|
4 |
Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this
evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and
be clear when thou judgest.
|
|
5 |
Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my
mother conceive me.
|
|
6 |
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in
the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
|
|
7 |
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me,
and I shall be whiter than snow.
|
|
8 |
Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which
thou hast broken may rejoice.
|
|
9 |
Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine
iniquities. |
|
10 |
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right
spirit within me.
|
|
11 |
Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy
holy spirit from me.
|
|
12 |
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me
with thy free spirit.
|
|
13 |
Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners
shall be converted unto thee.
|
|
14 |
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my
salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
|
|
15 |
O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew
forth thy praise.
|
|
16 |
For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it:
thou delightest not in burnt offering.
|
|
17 |
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and
a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
|
|
18 |
Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the
walls of Jerusalem.
|
|
19 |
Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of
righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they
offer bullocks upon thine altar.
