Natsach of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-Sheva.
HAVE mercy upon me, O Elohiym, according to your lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of your tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
Wash me throughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
Against you, you only, have I sinned, and done this evil in your sight: that you might be justified when you speak, and be clear when you judge.
Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part you shall make me to know wisdom.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which you have broken may rejoice.
Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O Elohiym; and renew a right ruach within me.
Cast me not away from your presence; and take not your Ruach Ha'Qodesh from me.
Restore unto me the joy of your yeshu`ah; and uphold me with your free Ruach.
Then will I teach transgressors your ways; and sinners shall be turned back unto you.
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O Elohiym, Elohai of my yeshu`ah: and my tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.
O Adonai, open my lips; and my mouth shall show forth your praise.
For you desire not sacrifice; else would I give it: you delight not in ascending smoke offering.
The sacrifices of Elohiym are a broken ruach: a broken and a contrite heart, O Elohiym, you will not despise.
Do good in your good pleasure unto Tsiyon: build the walls of Yerushalayim.
Then shall you be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with ascending smoke offering and whole ascending smoke offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon your altar.
