For the Leader. A Psalm of David; When Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Be gracious unto me, O God, according to Thy mercy; according to the multitude of Thy compassions blot out my transgressions.
2 Kai kathaesainah loh a yet khaw a yet oeh dongah kai n'sil lamtah ka tholhnah lamkah kai n'caihcil lah.
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 Kamah kah boekoek te kamah loh ka ming tih ka tholhnah loh kamah hmaiah om taitu.
For I know my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me.
4 Nang namah bueng taengah ka tholh tih na mikhmuh ah boethae ka saii. Tedae na thui vaengah nan tang sak tih nan cawh vaengah nan cim sak.
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.
5 Thaesainah neh ka thang tih tholhnah neh a nu loh kai n'yom.
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Kodang khuikah oltak te na ngaih dongah cueihnah na kael neh kai nan tuk nan kil.
Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts; make me, therefore, to know wisdom in mine inmost heart.
7 Pumpiding neh kai nan cil daengah ni ka caihcil eh. Kai nan silh daengah ni vuelsong lakah ka bok eh.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Omngaihnah neh kohoenah te kai nan yaak sak dongah na khaem tangtae rhuhrhong long khaw omngaih uh saeh.
Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast crushed may rejoice.
9 Ka tholhnah dongah na maelhmai thuh mai lamtah ka thaesainah boeih he han huih lah.
Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Pathen aw kai ham aka caih lungbuei han suen lamtah ka khui kah mueihla he cikngae la pan han tlaih lah.
Create me a clean heart, O God; and renew a stedfast spirit within me.
11 Kai he namah mikhmuh lamkah m'voei boel lamtah kai taengkah Mueihla Cim lo boel mai.
Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy holy spirit from me.
12 Na daemnah, omngaihnah te kai taengah ha mael lamtah, moeihoeihnah mueihla loh kai n'talong saeh.
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and let a willing spirit uphold me.
13 Boekoek rhoek te na khosing ka cang puei vetih hlangtholh rhoek loh nang taengla ha bal uh bitni.
Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall return unto Thee.
14 Pathen, ka loeihnah Pathen hlang thii lamkah kai n'huul lah. Nang kah duengnah te ka lai loh tamhoe puei saeh.
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation; so shall my tongue sing aloud of Thy righteousness.
15 Ka Boeipa aw, ka hmui he han ong lamtah ka ka loh nang koehnah te doek saeh.
O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall declare Thy praise.
16 Hmueih he na ngaih pawt dongah ni na ngaih koinih kam paek mai sue. Hmueihhlutnah khaw na doe moenih.
For Thou delightest not in sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.
17 Pathen kah a ngaih hmueih tah mueihla aka paeng ke ni. Lungbuei aka paeng tih aka paep te Pathen nang loh na hnawt moenih.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.
18 Namah kah kolonah dongah Zion te khophoeng pha sak lamtah Jerusalem vongtung te khueng pah.
Do good in Thy favour unto Zion; build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Te vaengah, duengnah hmueih, hmueihhlutnah khaw boeih na ngaih vetih na hmueihtuk ah vaito a khuen uh ni.
Then wilt Thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt-offering and whole offering; then will they offer bullocks upon Thine altar.
