(1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David;

(2) when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba.

(3) Be gracious unto me, O God, according to Thy mercy; According to the multitude of Thy compassions blot out my transgressions.

(4) Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.

(5) For I know my transgressions; And my sin is ever before me.

(6) Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, And done that which is evil in Thy sight; That Thou mayest be justified when Thou speakest, And be in the right when Thou judgest.

(7) Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

(8) Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts; make me, therefore, to know wisdom in mine inmost heart.

(9) Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

(10) Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast crushed may rejoice.

(11) Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

(12) Create me a clean heart, O God; and renew a stedfast spirit within me.

(13) Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy holy spirit from me.

(14) Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and let a willing spirit uphold me.

(15) Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall return unto Thee. .

(16) Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation; so shall my tongue sing aloud of Thy righteousness.

(17) O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall declare Thy praise.

(18) For Thou delightest not in sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.

(19) The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.

(20) Do good in Thy favour unto Zion; build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.

(21) Then wilt Thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt-offering and whole offering; Then will they offer bullocks upon Thine altar.
