2Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.

3For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.

4Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you are proved right when you speak
and justified when you judge.

5Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me.

6Surely you desire truth in the inner partsThe meaning of the Hebrew for this phrase is uncertain.;
you teachOr you desired…; / you taught me wisdom in the inmost place.

7Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

8Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.

9Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.

10Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

11Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.

12Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

13Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will turn back to you.

16You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.

17The sacrifices of God areOr My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart,
O God, you will not despise.

18In your good pleasure make Zion prosper;
build up the walls of Jerusalem.

19Then there will be righteous sacrifices,
whole burnt offerings to delight you;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.
