TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID, IN THE COMING OF NATHAN THE PROPHET TO HIM WHEN HE HAS GONE IN TO BATHSHEBA. Favor me, O God, according to Your kindness, || According to the abundance of Your mercies, || Blot out my transgressions. Psa 57:1; Isa 33:2; Heb 9:14Thoroughly wash me from my iniquity, || And cleanse me from my sin, For I know my transgressions, || And my sin [is] continually before me. Psa 32:5Against You, You only, I have sinned, || And done evil in Your eyes, || So that You are righteous in Your words, || You are pure in Your judging. Rom 3:4Behold, I have been brought forth in iniquity, || And my mother conceives me in sin. Job 14:4Behold, You have desired truth in the inward parts, || And in the hidden part You cause me to know Wisdom. 1Co 2:7You cleanse me with hyssop and I am clean, || Wash me, and I am whiter than snow. Lev 14:6You cause me to hear joy and gladness, || You make bones You have bruised joyful. Hide Your face from my sin. And blot out all my iniquities. Create for me a clean heart, O God, || And renew a right spirit within me. 2Co 5:17; Gal 6:15; Eph 2:10Do not cast me forth from Your presence, || And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Mat 6:13; Jer 7:15Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, || And a willing spirit sustains me. I teach transgressors Your ways, || And sinners return to You. Mat 7:5Deliver me from blood, O God, God of my salvation, || My tongue sings of Your righteousness. 2Sa 11:15; 2Sa 12:9O Lord, you open my lips, || And my mouth declares Your praise. Psa 71:8For You do not desire sacrifice, or I give [it], || You do not accept burnt-offering. Psa 40:6The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit, || A heart broken and bruised, O God, || You do not despise. Psa 4:5; Isa 66:2; Luk 18:13Do good in Your good pleasure with Zion, || You build the walls of Jerusalem. Isa 33:20; Isa 54:11Then You desire sacrifices of righteousness, || Burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering, || Then they offer bullocks on your altar!Deu 33:19
