1 To the chiefe musition, a psalme of Dauid when the prophete Nathan came vnto hym after he was gone in to Bethsabe. Haue mercie on me O Lorde accordyng to thy louyng kindnesse: accordyng vnto the multitudes of thy mercies wype out my wickednesse. Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. For 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 Washe me throughly from myne iniquitie: and clense me from my sinne. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I do acknowledge my wickednesse: and my sinne is euer before me. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.
4 Agaynst thee, only agaynst thee I haue sinned and done this euyll in thy sight: that thou mightest be iustified in thy saying, and founde pure when thou art iudged. Against 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. Against 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 Beholde, I was ingendred in iniquitie: and in sinne my mother conceaued me. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
6 Neuerthelesse, lo thou requirest trueth in the inwarde partes of me : & therfore thou wylt make me learne wisdome in the secrete part of myne heart. Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart. Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place.
7 Purge thou me with hyssop and I shalbe cleane: washe thou me, and I shalbe whyter then snowe. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Make thou me to heare some ioy and gladnesse: let the bones reioyce which thou hast broken. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have broken rejoice. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
9 Turne thy face from my sinnes: and wype out all my misdeedes. Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity.
10 Make thou vnto me a cleane heart O Lorde: and renue thou a ryght spirite within me. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence: and take not thy holy spirite from me. Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Geue me agayne the comfort of thy saluation: and confirme me with a free wyllyng spirite. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
13 Then wyll I teache thy wayes vnto the wicked: and sinners shalbe conuerted vnto thee. Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you. Then I will teach transgressors your ways, so that sinners will turn back to you.
14 Deliuer me from blood O Lorde, the Lorde of my saluation: and my tongue shall sing with a ioyfull noyse of thy iustice. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, O God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness. Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, you who are God my Savior, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
15 O Lorde open thou my lippes: and my mouth shall set foorth thy prayse. O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. Open my lips, Lord, and my mouth will declare your praise.
16 For thou desirest no sacrifice, els I would geue it thee: thou delightest not in a burnt offering. For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering. You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
17 Sacrifices for God is a mortified spirite: O Lorde thou wylt not despise a mortified and an humble heart. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise.
18 Be thou beneficiall vnto Sion, according to thy gracious good wyll: buylde thou the walles of Hierusalem. Do good to Zion in your good pleasure; build up the walls of Jerusalem; May it please you to prosper Zion, to build up the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousnes, with burnt offeringes and oblations: then wyll they offer young bullockes vpon thyne aulter. then will you delight in right sacrifices, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on your altar. Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous, in burnt offerings offered whole; then bulls will be offered on your altar.
