1 To His Eminence; Psalm by David: when Nathan the prophet comes to him, after he went in to Bath Sheba. Grant me charism, O Elohim, according to your mercy; according to the abundance of your tender mercies wipe out my rebellions:
2 launder me aboundingly from my perversity and purify me from my sin:
3 for I know my rebellions; and my sin is continually in front of me.
4 Against you - you only, I sinned and worked this evil in your eyes; so that you are just when you word and pure when you judge.
5 Behold, I writhed in perversity; and in sin my mother conceived me.
6 Behold, you desire truth in the reins; and in the hidden you have me know wisdom.
7 Purify me with hyssop, and I am purified; launder me, and I am whiter than snow:
8 have me hear rejoicing and cheerfulness; so that the bones you crush twirl.
9 Hide your face from my sins and wipe out all my perversities;
10 create a pure heart within me, O Elohim; and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Neither cast me from your face; nor take your holy spirit from me:
12 restore to me the rejoicing of your salvation; and uphold me with your free voluntary spirit.
13 I teach rebels your ways; and sinners return to you.
14 Rescue me from bloods, O Elohim - Elohim of my salvation; and my tongue shouts of your justness:
15 O Adonay, open my lips; and my mouth tells your halal.
16 For you desire not sacrifice; else I give it: you delight not in holocaust.
17 The sacrifices of Elohim are a broken spirit; a broken and a crushed heart, O Elohim, you despise not.
18 Well-please in your good pleasure to Siyon; build the walls of Yeru Shalem:
19 then delight in the sacrifices of justness with holocaust and total holocaust; then they holocaust bullocks on your sacrifice altar.
