1
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. 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 thoroughly 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.
