Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
1Εἰς τὸ τέλος· συνέσεως τῷ Δαυΐδ·
2Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity. Cleanse me from my sin.
2ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν Δωὴκ τὸν Ἰδουμαῖον καὶ ἀναγγεῖλαι τῷ Σαοὺλ καὶ εἰπεῖν αὐτῷ· ἦλθε Δαυΐδ εἰς τὸν οἶκον Ἀβιμέλεχ.
3For I know my transgressions. My sin is constantly before me.
3ΤΙ ΕΓΚΑΥΧ„ ἐν κακίᾳ, ὁ δυνατός, ἀνομίαν ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν;
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.
4ἀδικίαν ἐλογίσατο ἡ γλῶσσά σου· ὡσεὶ ξυρὸν ἠκονημένον ἐποίησας δόλον.
5Behold, I was born in iniquity. My mother conceived me in sin.
5ἠγάπησας κακίαν ὑπὲρ ἀγαθωσύνην, ἀδικίαν ὑπὲρ τὸ λαλῆσαι δικαιοσύνην. (διάψαλμα).
6Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
6ἠγάπησας πάντα τὰ ρήματα καταποντισμοῦ, γλῶσσαν δολίαν.
7Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
7διὰ τοῦτο ὁ Θεὸς καθέλοι σε εἰς τέλος· ἐκτίλαι σε καὶ μεταναστεύσαι σε ἀπὸ σκηνώματός σου καὶ τὸ ρίζωμά σου ἐκ γῆς ζώντων. (διάψαλμα).
8Let me hear joy and gladness, that the bones which you have broken may rejoice.
8ὄψονται δίκαιοι καὶ φοβηθήσονται καὶ ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν γελάσονται καὶ ἐροῦσιν·
9Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all of my iniquities.
9ἰδοὺ ἄνθρωπος, ὃς οὐκ ἔθετο τὸν Θεὸν βοηθὸν αὐτοῦ, ἀλλ᾿ ἐπήλπισεν ἐπὶ τὸ πλῆθος τοῦ πλούτου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνεδυναμώθη ἐπὶ τῇ ματαιότητι αὐτοῦ.
10Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.
10ἐγὼ δὲ ὡσεὶ ἐλαία κατάκαρπος ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ· ἤλπισα ἐπὶ τὸ ἔλεος τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος.
11Don’t throw me from your presence, and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me.
11ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, ὅτι ἐποίησας, καὶ ὑπομενῶ τὸ ὄνομά σου, ὅτι χρηστὸν ἐναντίον τῶν ὁσίων σου.
12Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Uphold me with a willing spirit.
