|
|
1 |
Have mercy upon me, O God,
According to Your lovingkindness;
According to the multitude of Your tender mercies,
Blot out my transgressions.
|
|
|
2 |
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
And cleanse me from my sin.
|
|
3 |
For I acknowledge my transgressions,
And my sin is always before me.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
