World English Bible
1In finem. Intellectus David,
1Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
2cum venit Doëg Idumæus, et nuntiavit Sauli: Venit David in domum Achimelech.
2Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity. Cleanse me from my sin.
3[Quid gloriaris in malitia, qui potens es in iniquitate?
3For I know my transgressions. My sin is constantly before me.
4Tota die injustitiam cogitavit lingua tua; sicut novacula acuta fecisti dolum.
4Against you, and you only, I have sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight, so you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.
5Dilexisti malitiam super benignitatem; iniquitatem magis quam loqui æquitatem.
5Behold, I was born in iniquity. My mother conceived me in sin.
6Dilexisti omnia verba præcipitationis; lingua dolosa.
6Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
7Propterea Deus destruet te in finem; evellet te, et emigrabit te de tabernaculo tuo, et radicem tuam de terra viventium.
7Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8Videbunt justi, et timebunt; et super eum ridebunt, et dicent:
8Let me hear joy and gladness, that the bones which you have broken may rejoice.
9Ecce homo qui non posuit Deum adjutorem suum; sed speravit in multitudine divitiarum suarum, et prævaluit in vanitate sua.
9Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all of my iniquities.
10Ego autem, sicut oliva fructifera in domo Dei; speravi in misericordia Dei, in æternum et in sæculum sæculi.
10Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.
11Confitebor tibi in sæculum, quia fecisti; et exspectabo nomen tuum, quoniam bonum est in conspectu sanctorum tuorum.]
11Don’t throw me from your presence, and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me.
