⁷⁷ Let your gentle mercies come to me, so that I may have life; for your law is my delight.

⁴¹ <VAU> Let your mercies come to me, O Lord, even your salvation, as you have said.

² But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and whose mind is on his law day and night.

¹ <To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba.> Have pity on me, O God, in your mercy; out of a full heart, take away my sin.

² Let all my wrongdoing be washed away, and make me clean from evil.

³ For I am conscious of my error; my sin is ever before me.

²⁴ Your unchanging word is my delight, and the guide of my footsteps.

⁴⁷ And so that I may take delight in your teachings, to which I have given my love.

¹⁷⁴ All my desire has been for your salvation, O Lord; and your law is my delight.

²² It is through the Lord's love that we have not come to destruction, because his mercies have no limit.

²³ They are new every morning; great is your good faith.

¹⁸ O my God, let your ear be turned and give hearing; let your eyes be open and see how we have been made waste and the town which is named by your name: for we are not offering our prayers before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercies.

¹⁰ For this is the agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days: I will put my laws into their minds, writing them in their hearts: and I will be their God, and they will be my people:

¹¹ And there will be no need for every man to be teaching his brother, or his neighbour, saying, This is the knowledge of the Lord: for they will all have knowledge of me, great and small.

¹² And I will have mercy on their evil-doing, and I will not keep their sins in mind.
