4 Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea* et a peccato meo munda me.
4 Wash me from my iniquity;* and cleanse me of my sin.

5 Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco,* et peccatum meum contra me est semper.
5 For I acknowledge my iniquity,* and my sin is always before me.

6 Tibi, soli peccavi* et malum coram te feci; ut iustus inveniaris in sententia tua,* et aequus in iudicio tuo.
6 Against only Thee have I sinned,* and done evil in Thy sight; that Thou mayest be justified in Thy sentence,* and fair in Thy judgment.

7 Ecce enim in iniquitate generatus sum,* et in peccato concepit me mater mea.
7 For behold, I was conceived in sin,* and in sin my mother conceived me;

8 Ecce enim veritatem in corde dilexisti* et in occulta sapientiam manifestasti mihi.
8 For behold, Thou hast loved truth*, and Thy hidden wisdom Thou hast shown me

9 Asperges me hyssopo, et mundabor;* lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.
9 Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed,* Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.

10 Audire me facies gaudium et laetitiam,* et exultabunt ossa, quae contrivisti.
10 Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness,* and the bones Thou hath crushed shall rejoice.

11 Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis,* et omnes iniquitates meas dele.
11 Turn away Thy face from my sins,* and blot out all my iniquities.

12 Cor mundum crea in me, Deus,* et spiritum firmum innova in visceribus meis.
12 Create in me a clean heart, O God,* and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

13 Ne proicias me a facie tua* et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me.
13 Cast me not from Thy presence,* and take not Thy holy spirit from me.

14 Redde mihi laetitiam salutaris tui* et spiritu promptissimo confirma me.
14 Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation,* and strengthen me with Thy spirit.

15 Docebo iniquos vias tuas,* et impii ad te convertentur.
15 I will teach the unjust Thy ways,* and the wicked shall be converted to Thee.

16 Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus, Deus salutis meae,* et exultabit lingua mea iustitiam tuam.
16 Deliver me from blood guilt, O God, the God of my salvation*, and my tongue shall extol Thy justice.

17 Domine labia mea aperies,* et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam.
17 Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord,* and my mouth shall declare Thy praise.

18 Non enim sacrificio delectaris,* holocaustum, si offeram, non placebit.
18 For Thou didst not desire sacrifice,* a burnt offering, for if I offered it, it would not please Thee.

19 Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus,* cor contritum et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies.
19 The sacrifice of God is an afflicted spirit,* a contrite and humbled heart, O God, Thou shalt not despise.

20 Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion,* ut aedificentur muri Ierusalem.
20 Deal favorably, O Lord, in Thy good will with Sion* that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.

21 Tunc acceptabis sacrificium iustitiae, oblationes et holocausta;* tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos.
21 Then shalt Thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole burnt offerings,* then shall they lay calves upon Thine altars.
