For the leader. A psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet come to him after he had been with Bathsheba. In your kindness, O God, be gracious to me, in your own great pity blot out my transgressions.

2 (Increase *Q(K)*) wash me from iniquity my and from sin my cleanse me.

Wash me clean of my guilt, make me pure of my sin.

3 For transgressions my I I know and sin my [is] before me continually.

For well I know my transgressions, my sin is ever before me.

4 To you to alone you - I have sinned and the evil in view your I have done so that you may be just when speaking you you will be pure when judging you.

Against you, only you, have I sinned, and done that which is wrong in your sight: you therefore are just when you speak, and clear when you utter judgment.

5 Here! in iniquity I was brought forth and in sin she conceived me mother my.

See! In guilt was I brought to the birth, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

6 Here! faithfulness you desire in the covered places and in a [place] kept secret wisdom you cause to know me.

It’s the innermost truth you desire, give me therefore true wisdom of heart.

7 You will cleanse from sin me with hyssop so I may be pure you will wash me and more than snow I will become white.

Purge me clean with hyssop, wash me whiter than snow.

8 You will make hear me joy and gladness let them rejoice [the] bones [which] you have crushed.

Fill me with joy and gladness, let the bones you have broken rejoice.

9 Hide face your from sins my and all iniquities my wipe out.

Hide your face from my sins, and blot out my guilt altogether.

10 A heart pure create for me O God and a spirit steadfast renew in inner being my.

Create me a clean heart, O God, put a new steadfast spirit within me.

11 May not you cast me from to before you and [the] spirit of holiness your may not you take from me.

Cast me not forth from your presence, withdraw not your holy spirit.

12 Restore! to me [the] joy of salvation your and a spirit willing you will sustain me.

Give me back the joy of your help, with a willing spirit sustain me.

13 I will teach transgressors ways your and sinners to you they will return.

I will teach your ways to transgressors, and sinners shall turn to you.

14 Deliver me from blood - O God [the] God of salvation my it will shout for joy tongue my righteousness your.

Save me from blood, O God, and my tongue shall ring out your faithfulness.

15 O Lord lips my you will open and mouth my it will declare praise your.

Open my lips, O Lord, and my mouth shall declare your praise.

16 For - not you desire sacrifice and I will give [it] burnt offering not you are pleased with.

For in sacrifice you have no pleasure, in gifts of burnt-offering no delight.

17 [the] sacrifices of God [are] a spirit broken a heart broken and crushed O God not you despise.

The sacrifice pleasing to God is a spirit that is broken; a heart that is crushed, O God, you will not despise.

18 Do good to! in favor your Zion you will build [the] walls of Jerusalem.

Do good in your pleasure to Zion, build the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Then you will delight in sacrifices of righteousness burnt offering and whole offering then people will offer up on altar your young bulls.

Then will you welcome the due forms of sacrifice, then on your altars shall bullocks be offered.
