For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

[1] Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness.
According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
[2] Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity.
Cleanse me from my sin.
[3] For I know my transgressions.
My sin is constantly before me.
[4] Against you, and you only, I have sinned,
and done that which is evil in your sight,
so you may be proved right when you speak,
and justified when you judge.
[5] Behold, I was born in iniquity.
My mother conceived me in sin.
[6] Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts.
You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
[7] Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean.
Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
[8] Let me hear joy and gladness,
that the bones which you have broken may rejoice.
[9] Hide your face from my sins,
and blot out all of my iniquities.
[10] Create in me a clean heart, O God.
Renew a right spirit within me.
[11] Don’t throw me from your presence,
and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me.
[12] Restore to me the joy of your salvation.
Uphold me with a willing spirit.
[13] Then I will teach transgressors your ways.
Sinners will be converted to you.
[14] Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, the God of my salvation.
My tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.
[15] Lord, open my lips.
My mouth will declare your praise.
[16] For you don’t delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it.
You have no pleasure in burnt offering.
[17] The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit.
O God, you will not despise a broken and contrite heart. [18] Do well in your good pleasure to Zion.
Build the walls of Jerusalem.
[19] Then you will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness,
in burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings.
Then they will offer bulls on your altar.
King James Version

To the chief Musician, H5329 (PielPtc) A Psalm H4210 of David, H1732 when Nathan H5416 the prophet H5030 came H935 (QalInf) unto him, after he had gone in H935 (QalPerf) to Bath-sheba. H1339

[1] Have mercy H2603 (QalImpv) upon me, O God, H430 according to thy lovingkindness: H2617
According unto the multitude H7230 of thy tender mercies H7356 blot out H4229 (QalImpv) my transgressions. H6588
[2] Wash H3526 (PielImpv) me throughly H7235 (HiphImpv) from mine iniquity, H5771
And cleanse H2891 (PielImpv) me from my sin. H2403
[3] For I acknowledge H3045 (QalImpf) my transgressions: H6588
And my sin H2403 is ever H8548 before me.
[4] Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, H2398 (QalPerf) and done H6213 (QalPerf) this evil H7451 in thy sight: H5869
That thou mightest be justified H6663 (QalImpf) when thou speakest, H1696 (QalInf) and be clear H2135 (QalImpf) when thou judgest. H8199 (QalInf)
[5] Behold, I was shapen H2342 (PulaPerf) in iniquity; H5771
And in sin H2399 did my mother H517 conceive H3179 (PielPerf) me.§
[6] Behold, thou desirest H2654 (QalPerf) truth H571 in the inward parts: H2910
And in the hidden H5640 (QalPasPtc) part thou shalt make me to know H3045 (HiphImpf) wisdom. H2451
[7] Purge H2398 (PielImpf) me with hyssop, H231 and I shall be clean: H2891 (QalImpf)
Wash H3526 (PielImpf) me, and I shall be whiter H3835 (HiphImpf) than snow. H7950
[8] Make me to hear H8085 (HiphImpf) joy H8342 and gladness; H8057
That the bones H6106 which thou hast broken H1794 (PielPerf) may rejoice. H1523 (QalImpf)
[9] Hide H5641 (HiphImpv) thy face H6440 from my sins, H2399
And blot out H4229 (QalImpv) all mine iniquities. H5771
[10] Create H1254 (QalImpv) in me a clean H2889 heart, H3820 O God; H430
And renew H2318 (PielImpv) a right H3559 (NiphPtc) spirit H7307§ within H7130 me.
[11] Cast me not away H7993 (HiphImpf) from thy presence; H6440
And take H3947 (QalImpf) not thy holy H6944 spirit H7307 from me.
[12] Restore H7725 (HiphImpv) unto me the joy H8342 of thy salvation; H3468
And uphold H5564 (QalImpf) me with thy free H5081 spirit. H7307
[13] Then will I teach H3925 (PielImpf) transgressors H6586 (QalActPtc) thy ways; H1870
And sinners H2400 shall be converted H7725 (QalImpf) unto thee.
[14] Deliver H5337 (HiphImpv) me from bloodguiltiness, H1818§ O God, H430 thou God H430 of my salvation: H8668
And my tongue H3956 shall sing aloud H7442 (PielImpf) of thy righteousness. H6666
[15] O Lord, H136 open H6605 (QalImpf) thou my lips; H8193
And my mouth H6310 shall shew forth H5046 (HiphImpf) thy praise. H8416
[16] For thou desirest H2654 (QalImpf) not sacrifice; H2077 else would I give H5414 (QalImpf) it:§
Thou delightest H7521 (QalImpf) not in burnt offering. H5930
[17] The sacrifices H2077 of God H430 are a broken H7665 (NiphPtc) spirit: H7307
A broken H7665 (NiphPtc) and a contrite H1794 (NiphPtc) heart, H3820 O God, H430 thou wilt not despise. H959 (QalImpf)
[18] Do good H3190 (HiphImpv) in thy good pleasure H7522 unto Zion: H6726
Build H1129 (QalImpf) thou the walls H2346 of Jerusalem. H3389
[19] Then shalt thou be pleased H2654 (QalImpf) with the sacrifices H2077 of righteousness, H6664 with burnt offering H5930 and whole H3632 burnt offering: H5930
Then shall they offer H5927 (HiphImpf) bullocks H6499 upon thine altar. H4196
