[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.] Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, 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 my iniquity. 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. My sin is constantly 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 you, and you only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight; that you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.
5 Thaesainah neh ka thang tih tholhnah neh a nu loh kai n'yom.
Look, I was brought forth in iniquity. In sin my mother conceived me.
6 Kodang khuikah oltak te na ngaih dongah cueihnah na kael neh kai nan tuk nan kil.
Look, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
7 Pumpiding neh kai nan cil daengah ni ka caihcil eh. Kai nan silh daengah ni vuelsong lakah ka bok eh.
Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Omngaihnah neh kohoenah te kai nan yaak sak dongah na khaem tangtae rhuhrhong long khaw omngaih uh saeh.
Let me hear joy and gladness, That the bones which you have broken may rejoice.
9 Ka tholhnah dongah na maelhmai thuh mai lamtah ka thaesainah boeih he han huih lah.
Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all of my iniquities.
10 Pathen aw kai ham aka caih lungbuei han suen lamtah ka khui kah mueihla he cikngae la pan han tlaih lah.
Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.
11 Kai he namah mikhmuh lamkah m'voei boel lamtah kai taengkah Mueihla Cim lo boel mai.
Do not throw me from your presence, and do not take your holy Spirit from me.
12 Na daemnah, omngaihnah te kai taengah ha mael lamtah, moeihoeihnah mueihla loh kai n'talong saeh.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Uphold me with a willing spirit.
13 Boekoek rhoek te na khosing ka cang puei vetih hlangtholh rhoek loh nang taengla ha bal uh bitni.
Then I will teach transgressors your ways. Sinners shall be converted to you.
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, the God of my salvation. My tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.
15 Ka Boeipa aw, ka hmui he han ong lamtah ka ka loh nang koehnah te doek saeh.
Lord, open my lips. My mouth shall declare your praise.
16 Hmueih he na ngaih pawt dongah ni na ngaih koinih kam paek mai sue. Hmueihhlutnah khaw na doe moenih.
For you do not delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it. You have 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 contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
18 Namah kah kolonah dongah Zion te khophoeng pha sak lamtah Jerusalem vongtung te khueng pah.
Do well in your good pleasure to Zion. Build the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Te vaengah, duengnah hmueih, hmueihhlutnah khaw boeih na ngaih vetih na hmueihtuk ah vaito a khuen uh ni.
Then you will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings. Then they will offer bulls on your altar.
