⁴ I said, Lord, have mercy on me; make my soul well, because my faith is in you.

³ He has forgiveness for all your sins; he takes away all your diseases;

³ He makes the broken-hearted well, and puts oil on their wounds.

¹⁸ For a great number of the people from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not made themselves clean, but they took the Passover meal, though not in the right way. For Hezekiah had made prayer for them, saying, May the good Lord have mercy on everyone

¹⁹ Who, with all his heart, is turned to God the Lord, the God of his fathers, even if he has not been made clean after the rules of the holy place.

²⁰ And the Lord gave ear to Hezekiah, and made the people well.

² Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am wasted away: make me well, for even my bones are troubled.

³ My soul is in bitter trouble; and you, O Lord, how long?

⁴ Come back, O Lord, make my soul free; O give me salvation because of your mercy.

⁵ I made my wrongdoing clear to you, and did not keep back my sin. I said, I will put it all before the Lord; and you took away my wrongdoing and my sin. (Selah.)

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.

⁴ Against you, you only, have I done wrong, working that which is evil in your eyes; so that your words may be seen to be right, and you may be clear when you are judging.

¹ Come, let us go back to the Lord; for he has given us wounds and he will make us well; he has given blows and he will give help.

¹⁵ And by the prayer of faith the man who is ill will be made well, and he will be lifted up by the Lord, and for any sin which he has done he will have forgiveness.

¹⁶ So then, make a statement of your sins to one another, and say prayers for one another so that you may be made well. The prayer of a good man is full of power in its working.
