²⁶ My ways I have recounted, And Thou answerest me, teach me Thy statutes,

¹¹ Show me, O Jehovah, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart doth rejoice to fear Thy name.

⁴ Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me.

¹¹ Shew me, O Jehovah, Thy way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders.

¹³ Whoso is covering his transgressions prospereth not, And he who is confessing and forsaking hath mercy.

⁸ Cause me to hear in the morning Thy kindness, For in Thee I have trusted, Cause me to know the way that I go, For unto Thee I have lifted up my soul.

⁹ Deliver me from mine enemies, O Jehovah, Near Thee I am covered.

¹⁰ Teach me to do Thy good pleasure, For Thou `art' my God -- Thy Spirit `is' good, Lead me into a land of uprightness.

¹² Blessed `art' Thou, O Jehovah, teach me Thy statutes.

⁵ My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not covered. I have said, `I confess concerning My transgressions to Jehovah,' And Thou -- Thou hast taken away, The iniquity of my sin. Selah.

⁸ Good and upright `is' Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way.

⁹ He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble His way.

³⁶ then Thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast forgiven the sin of Thy servants, and of Thy people Israel, for Thou directest them the good way in which they go, and hast given rain on Thy land which Thou hast given to Thy people for inheritance.

¹⁰⁶ I have sworn, and I confirm `it', To keep the judgments of Thy righteousness.

¹ To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David, in the coming inn unto him of Nathan the prophet, when he hath gone in unto Bath-Sheba. Favour me, O God, according to Thy kindness, According to the abundance of Thy mercies, Blot out my transgressions.

² Thoroughly wash me from mine iniquity, And from my sin cleanse me,

³ For my transgressions I do know, And my sin `is' before me continually.

⁴ Against Thee, Thee only, I have sinned, And done the evil thing in Thine eyes, So that Thou art righteous in Thy words, Thou art pure in Thy judging.

⁵ Lo, in iniquity I have been brought forth, And in sin doth my mother conceive me.

⁶ Lo, truth Thou hast desired in the inward parts, And in the hidden part Wisdom Thou causest me to know.

⁷ Thou cleansest me with hyssop and I am clean, Washest me, and than snow I am whiter.

⁸ Thou causest me to hear joy and gladness, Thou makest joyful bones Thou hast bruised.

⁹ Hide Thy face from my sin. And all mine iniquities blot out.

¹⁰ A clean heart prepare for me, O God, And a right spirit renew within me.

¹¹ Cast me not forth from Thy presence, And Thy Holy Spirit take not from me.

¹² Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation, And a willing spirit doth sustain me.

¹³ I teach transgressors Thy ways, And sinners unto Thee do return.

¹⁴ Deliver me from blood, O God, God of my salvation, My tongue singeth of Thy righteousness.

¹⁵ O Lord, my lips thou dost open, And my mouth declareth Thy praise.

¹⁶ For Thou desirest not sacrifice, or I give `it', Burnt-offering Thou acceptest not.

¹⁷ The sacrifices of God `are' a broken spirit, A heart broken and bruised, O God, Thou dost not despise.

¹⁸ Do good in Thy good pleasure with Zion, Thou dost build the walls of Jerusalem.

¹⁹ Then Thou desirest sacrifices of righteousness, Burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering, Then they offer bullocks on thine altar!

¹⁸ For mine iniquity I declare, I am sorry for my sin.
