\d A psalm written by David for the choir director, concerning the time when the prophet Nathan rebuked David after he had committed adultery with Bathsheba.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 1 O God, act mercifully toward me
|
|
\q2 because you love me faithfully;
|
|
\q2 because you are very merciful,
|
|
\q2 forget the ways that I disobeyed you!
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 Make me acceptable to you again, even though I did wrong things;
|
|
\q2 forgive the guilt of my sin and accept me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 Forgive the guilt of my sins, and after that happens, I will be completely acceptable to you;
|
|
\q2 if you forgive me, then I will be absolutely right with you.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 Allow me to rejoice again;
|
|
\q2 you have made me immeasurably sad,
|
|
\q1 but now let me rejoice again.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 Do not continue to remember the sins that I have committed;
|
|
\q2 forget the evil things that I have done.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 O God, make me want to do the things that you approve of.
|
|
\q2 Make me want to do only what is right.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 Do not reject me as one of your people,
|
|
\q2 and do not make your holy Spirit leave me.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 Make me happy again by rescuing me from my guilt,
|
|
\q2 and always help me by making me sincerely want to obey you.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 If you do that, I will teach other sinners what you want them to do;
|
|
\q2 they will repent and obey you.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\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 When people only bring sacrifices to you, that does not please you.
|
|
\q2 If that were enough to please you, I would do the same.
|
|
\q1 But 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.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 18 O God, be good to the people who live in Jerusalem;
|
|
\q2 make them able to rebuild the city walls.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 19 When that happens, they will bring you the proper sacrifices:
|
|
\q2 normal animal sacrifices and sacrifices to be completely burned.
|
|
\q2 They will burn young bulls on your altar,
|
|
\q2 and you will be pleased.
