For the choirmaster. A Psalm - of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him after his adultery with vvv Bathsheba. Have mercy on me , O God , according to Your loving devotion ; according to Your great compassion , blot out my transgressions.
| LXX |
Wash me clean ... of my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
| LXX |
For I know my transgressions , and my sin is always before me.
| LXX |
You only , have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight , so that You may be proved right when You speak and blameless when You judge.
| LXX |
Surely I was brought forth in iniquity ; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.
| LXX |
Surely You desire tRuth - in the inmost being ; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
| LXX |
Purify me with hyssop , and I will be clean ; wash me , and I will be whiter than snow.
| LXX |
Let me hear joy and gladness ; let the bones You have crushed rejoice.
| LXX |
Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities.
| LXX |
Create a clean heart , O God , and renew a right spirit within me.
| LXX |
Cast me not away ... from Your presence ; take not Your Holy Spirit from me.
| LXX |
Restore the joy of Your salvation , and sustain me with a willing spirit.
| LXX |
Then I will teach transgressors Your ways , and sinners will return to You.
| LXX |
Deliver me from bloodguilt , O God , the God of my salvation , and my tongue will sing of Your righteousness.
| LXX |
O Lord , open my lips , and my mouth will declare Your praise.
| LXX |
For You do not delight in sacrifice , or I would bring it ; vvv You take no pleasure in burnt offerings.
| LXX |
The sacrifices of God (are) a broken spirit ; a broken and a contrite heart , O God , You will not despise.
| LXX |
In Your good pleasure , - cause Zion to prosper ; build up the walls of Jerusalem.
| LXX |
Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices , in whole burnt offerings ; then bulls will be offered on Your altar.
