Have mercy on me,
Have mercy,
Have mercy on me, God:
according to the abundance of your mercies.
Thoroughly wash me from my error: and even from my sin.
Against you, you alone, I have sinned, and what is bad in your eyes I have done,
In order that you may prove to be righteous when you speak, That you may be in the clear when you judge.
Look! You have taken delight in truthfulness itself in the inward parts; And in the secret self may you cause me to know sheer wisdom.
May you cause me to hear exultation and rejoicing, That the bones that you have crushed may be joyful.
Create in me even a pure heart,
God, God, create in me,
create in me, create in me:
and put within me a new spirit, a steadfast one.
Do restore to me the exultation of salvation by you, And may you support me even with a willing spirit.
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, God the God of my salvation, That my tongue may joyfully tell about your righteousness.
For you do not take delight in sacrifice—otherwise I would give [it]; In whole burnt offering you do not find pleasure.
In your goodwill do deal well with Zion; May you build the walls of Jerusalem.
