For the music director. A psalm. By David. When Nathan the prophet had come to him, when he had had sexual intercourse with Bathsheba. Show mercy to me, God, according to your loyalty; according to your abundant compassion wipe away my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin, because I am aware of my transgressions, and my sin is constantly in front of me. Against you alone I have sinned, and I have done what is evil in your eyes, such that you are in the right when you speak, (and such that) you are faultless when you judge. Behold, I was born in iniquity, and in guilt my mother conceived me. Behold, you desire faithfulness in the covered places, so make me know wisdom in the closed-off place. Purify me with hyssop, so that I will be clean; wash me, so that I will be whiter than snow. Make me hear gladness and joy; may the bones that you have crushed rejoice. Hide your face from my sins, and wipe away all my iniquities. Create a clean heart for me, God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from before you, and do not take your holy spirit away from me. Restore to me the gladness that results from your salvation, and support me with a willing spirit. May I teach transgressors your ways, so that sinners will turn back to you. Deliver me from bloodshed, God, the God who saves me, (so that) my tongue will shout for joy about your righteousness. Lord, open my lips, so that my mouth will report praise concerning you. For you do not delight in sacrifice(s), or else I would bring (it); you are not pleased with burnt offering(s). The sacrifice I offer, God, is a broken spirit; a broken and crushed heart, God, you do not despise. Do good to Zion in accord with what pleases you; build the walls of Jerusalem. Then you will delight in right sacrifices, in burnt offering(s) and whole offering(s); then people will offer up bulls on your altar.
