1 - Unto the end, a psalm of David,

2 - When Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had sinned with Bethsabee.

3 - Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy. And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my iniquity.

4 - Wash me yet more from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

5 - For I know my iniquity, and my sin is always before me.

6 - To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee: that thou mayst be justified in thy words, and mayst overcome when thou art judged.

7 - For behold I was conceived in iniquities; and in sins did my mother conceive me.

8 - For behold thou hast loved truth: the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me.

9 - Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.

10 - To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.

11 - Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.

12 - Create a clean heart in me, O God: and renew a right spirit within my bowels.

13 - Cast me not away from thy face; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

14 - Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and strengthen me with a perfect spirit.

15 - I will teach the unjust thy ways: and the wicked shall be converted to thee.

16 - Deliver me from blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall extol thy justice.

17 - O Lord, thou wilt open my lips: and my mouth shall declare thy praise.

18 - For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: with burnt offerings thou wilt not be delighted.

19 - A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

20 - Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion; that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.

21 - Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole burnt offerings: then shall they lay calves upon thy altar.
