1Unto the end, a psalm of David,
1A Psalm of Asaph. God, God, the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
2When Nathan the prophet came to him after he had sinned with Bethsabee.
2Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth.
3Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy. And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my iniquity.
3Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence; a fire devoureth before Him, and round about Him it stormeth mightily.
4Wash me yet more from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
4He calleth to the heavens above, and to the earth, that He may judge His people:
5For I know my iniquity, and my sin is always before me.
5'Gather My saints together unto Me; those that have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.'
6To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee: that thou mayst be justified in thy words and mayst overcome when thou art judged.
6And the heavens declare His righteousness; for God, He is judge. Selah
7For behold I was conceived in iniquities; and in sins did my mother conceive me.
7'Hear, O My people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: God, thy God, am I.
8For behold thou hast loved truth: the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me.
8I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; and thy burnt-offerings are continually before Me.
9Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
9I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he-goats out of thy folds.
10To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.
10For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
11I know all the fowls of the mountains; and the wild beasts of the field are Mine.
12Create a clean heart in me, O God: and renew a right spirit within my bowels.
12If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is Mine, and the fulness thereof.
13Cast me not away from thy face; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
13Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and strengthen me with a perfect spirit.
14Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the Most High;
15I will teach the unjust thy ways: and the wicked shall be converted to thee.
15And call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt honour Me.'
16Deliver me from blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall extol thy justice.
16But unto the wicked God saith: 'What hast thou to do to declare My statutes, and that thou hast taken My covenant in thy mouth?
17O Lord, thou wilt open my lips: and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
17Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest My words behind thee.
18For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: with burnt offerings thou wilt not be delighted.
18When thou sawest a thief, thou hadst company with him, and with adulterers was thy portion.
19A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
19Thou hast let loose thy mouth for evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
20Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion; that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.
20Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
21Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole burnt offerings: then shall they lay calves upon thy altar.
21These things hast thou done, and should I have kept silence? Thou hadst thought that I was altogether such a one as thyself; but I will reprove thee, and set the cause before thine eyes.
