| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1For the director of music. A psalm of David. When the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Then I will teach transgressors your ways, so that sinners will turn back to you. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, you who are God my Savior, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Open my lips, Lord, and my mouth will declare your praise. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18May it please you to prosper Zion, to build up the walls of Jerusalem. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous, in burnt offerings offered whole; then bulls will be offered on your altar. |
