aBe gracious to me, O God
, according to Your lovingkindness
; According to the greatness
of bYour compassion
cblot
out my transgressions
.
aWash me thoroughly
from my iniquity
And bcleanse
me from my sin
.
For 1I aknow my transgressions
, And my sin
is ever
before
me.
aAgainst You, You only, I have sinned
And done
what
is bevil
in Your sight
, So
that cYou 1are justified
2when You speak
And 3blameless
when You judge
.
Behold, I was abrought
forth
in iniquity
, And in sin
my mother
conceived
me.
Behold, You desire
atruth
in the 1innermost
being
, And in the hidden
part
You will bmake me know
wisdom
.
1Purify me awith hyssop
, and I shall be clean
; 2Wash
me, and I shall be bwhiter
than
snow
.
1Make me to hear ajoy
and gladness
, Let the bbones
which You have broken
rejoice
.
aHide Your face
from my sins
And blot
out all
my iniquities
.
aCreate 1in me a bclean
heart
, O God
, And renew
2a csteadfast
spirit
within
me.
aDo not cast me away
from Your presence
And do not take
Your bHoly
Spirit
from me.
Restore to me the ajoy
of Your salvation
And sustain
me with a bwilling
spirit
.
Then I will ateach transgressors
Your ways
, And sinners
will 1be bconverted
to You.
Deliver me from abloodguiltiness
, O God
, bthe God
of my salvation
; Then my ctongue
will joyfully
sing
of Your righteousness
.
O Lord, 1 aopen
my lips
, That my mouth
may bdeclare
Your praise
.
For You ado not delight in sacrifice
, otherwise I would give
it; You are not pleased
with burnt
offering
.
The sacrifices of God
are a abroken
spirit
; A broken
and a contrite
heart
, O God
, You will not despise
.
aBy Your favor do
good
to Zion
; 1 bBuild
the walls
of Jerusalem
.
Then You will delight
in 1 arighteous
sacrifices
, In bburnt
offering
and whole
burnt
offering
; Then
2young
bulls
will be offered
on Your altar
.
