English Standard VersionInternational Standard Version
1Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.1Have mercy, God, according to your gracious love, according to your unlimited compassion, erase my transgressions.
2Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin!2Wash me from my iniquity, cleanse me from my sin.
3For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.3For I acknowledge my transgression; my sin remains continuously before me.
4Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment.4Against you, you only, have I sinned, and done what was evil in your sight. As a result, you are just in your pronouncement and clear in your judgment.
5Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.5Indeed, in iniquity I was brought forth; in sin my mother conceived me.
6Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.6Indeed, you are pleased with truth in the inner person, and you will teach me wisdom in my innermost parts.
7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.7Purge me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have broken rejoice.8Let me know joy and gladness; let the bones that you have broken rejoice.
9Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.9Hide your countenance from my sins and erase the record of my iniquities.
10Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.10God, create a pure heart in me, and renew a right attitude within me.
11Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me.11Do not cast me from your presence; do not take your Holy Spirit from me.
12Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.12Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and let a willing attitude control me.
13Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you.13Then I will teach transgressors about your ways, and sinners will turn to you.
14Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, O God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.14Deliver me from the guilt of shedding blood, God, God of my salvation. Then my tongue will sing about your righteousness.
15O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.15Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.
16For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.16Indeed, you do not delight in sacrifices, or I would give them, nor do you desire burnt offerings.
17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.17True sacrifice to God is a broken spirit. A broken and chastened heart, God, you will not despise.
18Do good to Zion in your good pleasure; build up the walls of Jerusalem;18Show favor to Zion in your good pleasure; and rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
19then will you delight in right sacrifices, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on your altar.19Then you will be pleased with right sacrifices, with burnt offerings, and with whole burnt offerings. Then they will offer bulls on your altar.
