|
1. To the chief Musician H5329 , A Psalm H4210 of David H1732 , when Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030 came H935 unto H413 him, after H834 he had gone in H935 to H413 Bathsheba H1339 . Have mercy H2603 upon me , O God H430 , according to thy lovingkindness H2617 : according unto the multitude H7230 of thy tender mercies H7356 blot out H4229 my transgressions H6588 .
|
|
2. Wash away my guilt, and cleanse me from my sin.
|
2. Wash H3526 me throughly H7235 from mine iniquity H4480 H5771 , and cleanse H2891 me from my sin H4480 H2403 .
|
|
3. For I am conscious of my rebellion, and my sin is always before me.
|
3. For H3588 I H589 acknowledge H3045 my transgressions H6588 : and my sin H2403 is ever H8548 before H5048 me.
|
|
4. Against You-- You alone-- I have sinned and done this evil in Your sight. So You are right when You pass sentence; You are blameless when You judge.
|
4. Against thee , thee only H905 , have I sinned H2398 , and done H6213 this evil H7451 in thy sight H5869 : that H4616 thou mightest be justified H6663 when thou speakest H1696 , and be clear H2135 when thou judgest H8199 .
|
|
5. Indeed, I was guilty when I was born; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.
|
5. Behold H2005 , I was shapen H2342 in iniquity H5771 ; and in sin H2399 did my mother H517 conceive H3179 me.
|
|
6. Surely You desire integrity in the inner self, and You teach me wisdom deep within.
|
6. Behold H2005 , thou desirest H2654 truth H571 in the inward parts H2910 : and in the hidden H5640 part thou shalt make me to know H3045 wisdom H2451 .
|
|
7. Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
|
7. Purge H2398 me with hyssop H231 , and I shall be clean H2891 : wash H3526 me , and I shall be whiter H3835 than snow H4480 H7950 .
|
|
8. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones You have crushed rejoice.
|
8. Make me to hear H8085 joy H8342 and gladness H8057 ; that the bones H6106 which thou hast broken H1794 may rejoice H1523 .
|
|
9. Turn Your face away from my sins and blot out all my guilt.
|
9. Hide H5641 thy face H6440 from my sins H4480 H2399 , and blot out H4229 all H3605 mine iniquities H5771 .
|
|
10. God, create a clean heart for me and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
|
10. Create H1254 in me a clean H2889 heart H3820 , O God H430 ; and renew H2318 a right H3559 spirit H7307 within H7130 me.
|
|
11. Do not banish me from Your presence or take Your Holy Spirit from me.
|
11. Cast H7993 me not H408 away from thy presence H4480 H6440 ; and take H3947 not H408 thy holy H6944 spirit H7307 from H4480 me.
|
|
12. Restore the joy of Your salvation to me, and give me a willing spirit.
|
12. Restore H7725 unto me the joy H8342 of thy salvation H3468 ; and uphold H5564 me with thy free H5082 spirit H7307 .
|
|
13. Then I will teach the rebellious Your ways, and sinners will return to You.
|
13. Then will I teach H3925 transgressors H6586 thy ways H1870 ; and sinners H2400 shall be converted H7725 unto H413 thee.
|
|
14. Save me from the guilt of bloodshed, God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing of Your righteousness.
|
14. Deliver H5337 me from bloodguiltiness H4480 H1818 , O God H430 , thou God H430 of my salvation H8668 : and my tongue H3956 shall sing aloud H7442 of thy righteousness H6666 .
|
|
15. Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praise.
|
15. O Lord H136 , open H6605 thou my lips H8193 ; and my mouth H6310 shall show forth H5046 thy praise H8416 .
|
|
16. You do not want a sacrifice, or I would give it; You are not pleased with a burnt offering.
|
16. For H3588 thou desirest H2654 not H3808 sacrifice H2077 ; else would I give H5414 it : thou delightest H7521 not H3808 in burnt offering H5930 .
|
|
17. The sacrifice pleasing to God is a broken spirit. God, You will not despise a broken and humbled heart.
|
17. The sacrifices H2077 of God H430 are a broken H7665 spirit H7307 : a broken H7665 and a contrite H1794 heart H3820 , O God H430 , thou wilt not H3808 despise H959 .
|
|
18. In Your good pleasure, cause Zion to prosper; build the walls of Jerusalem.
|
18. Do good H3190 in thy good pleasure H7522 unto H853 Zion H6726 : build H1129 thou the walls H2346 of Jerusalem H3389 .
|
|
19. Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on Your altar.
|
19. Then H227 shalt thou be pleased H2654 with the sacrifices H2077 of righteousness H6664 , with burnt offering H5930 and whole burnt offering H3632 : then H227 shall they offer H5927 bullocks H6499 upon H5921 thine altar H4196 .
