For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba.

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:

According to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.Psa 57:1; Isa 33:2; Heb 9:14

Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity,

And cleanse me from my sin.

For I know my transgressions;

And my sin is ever before me.Psa 32:5

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned,

And done that which is evil in thy sight;

That thou mayest be justified when thou speakest,

And be clear when thou judgest.Rom 3:4

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity;

And in sin did my mother conceive me.Job 14:4

Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts;

And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom.1Co 2:7

Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:

Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.Lev 14:6

Make me to hear joy and gladness,

That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

Hide thy face from my sins,

And blot out all mine iniquities.

Create in me a clean heart, O God;

And renew a right spirit within me.2Co 5:17; Gal 6:15; Eph 2:10

Cast me not away from thy presence;

And take not thy holy Spirit from me.Mat 6:13; Jer 7:15

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation;

And uphold me with a willing spirit.

Then will I teach transgressors thy ways;

And sinners shall be converted unto thee.Mat 7:5

Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation;

And my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.2Sa 11:15; 2Sa 12:9

O Lord, open thou my lips;

And my mouth shall show forth thy praise.Psa 71:8

For thou delightest not in sacrifice; else would I give it:

Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.Psa 40:6

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit:

A broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.Psa 4:5; Isa 66:2; Luk 18:13

Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion:

Build thou the walls of Jerusalem.Isa 33:20; Isa 54:11

Then wilt thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness,

In burnt-offering and whole burnt-offering:

Then will they offer bullocks upon thine altar.Deu 33:19
