|
|
\v 1 O God, act mercifully toward me
|
||
|
|
\q2 because you love me faithfully;
|
||
|
|
\q2 because you are very merciful,
|
||
|
|
\q2 erase the record of the ways that I disobeyed you!
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
\q2 make me clean from the guilt of my sin.

\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 3 I say that because I know the ways that I have disobeyed you;
|
||
|
|
\q2 I cannot forget them.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 4 You, you only, are the one I that have really sinned against,
|
||
|
|
\q2 and you have seen the evil things that I have done.
|
||
|
|
\q1 When you say that I am guilty, you are right,
|
||
|
|
\q2 and when you judge me, you justly say that I deserve to be punished.
|
||
|
|
|

\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 5 I have been a sinner since the day that I was born;
|
||
|
|
\q2 truly, I have been like that since my mother conceived me.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 6 What you desire is that in my inner being I desire what is true
|
||
|
|
\q2 in order that you can teach me in my inner being how to act wisely.
|
||
|
|
\b
|
||

\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 7 Purify me from the guilt of my sins, and after that happens, I will be clean in my inner being;
|

|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 8 Allow me again to be joyful;
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
\q1 but now let me rejoice again.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 9 Do not continue to look at the sins that I have committed;
|
||
|
|
\q2 erase the record of the evil things that I have done.
|
||
|
|

|
\q1
|

\v 10 O God, cause my inner being to be pure.
|
||

|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 11 Do not send me away from you because of my sin,
|
||
|
|
\q2 and do not take your Holy Spirit from me.

|
\q1

||
|
|
\v 12 Cause me to be happy again because of knowing that you have freed me from the guilt of my sin,
|
||
|
|
\q2 and make my spirit willing to obey you.
|
||
|
|
\b
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 13 If you do that, I will be able to teach to other sinners what you want them to do,
|
||
|
|
\q2 and they will repent and begin to obey you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 14 O God, you are the one who saves me;
|
||
|
|
\q2 forgive me for being guilty of causing someone who was not my enemy to die.
|
||
|
|
\q2 When you do that, I will sing joyfully about your being very good and righteous.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 15 O Yahweh, help me to speak
|
||
|
|
\q2 in order that I may praise you.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 16 You are not pleased with only the sacrifices that people bring to you.
|
||
|
|
\q2 If that were enough to please you, I would bring you sacrifices.
|
||
|
|
\q1 You are not pleased with burnt offerings alone.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 17 The sacrifice that you really want is for people to be truly humble and sorry for having sinned;
|
||
|
|
\q2 O God, you will not refuse that kind of sacrifice.
|
||
|
|
\b
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 18 O God, be good to the people who live in Jerusalem;
|
||
|
|
\q2 help them to rebuild the city walls.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 19 When that happens, they will bring you the proper sacrifices,
|
||
|
|
\q2 animals that they completely burn,
|
||
|
|
\q2 young bulls that they burn on your altar,
|
||
|
|
\q2 and you will be pleased.
