Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid, when the Prophet Nathan came vnto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Haue mercie vpon me, O God, according to thy louing kindnes: according to the multitude of thy compassions put away mine iniquities.

Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

Wash me throughly from mine iniquitie, and clense me from my sinne.

For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

For I know mine iniquities, and my sinne is euer before me.

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

Against thee, against thee onely haue I sinned, and done euill in thy sight, that thou mayest be iust when thou speakest, and pure when thou iudgest.

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

Beholde, thou louest trueth in the inwarde affections: therefore hast thou taught mee wisedome in the secret of mine heart.

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Purge me with hyssope, & I shalbe cleane: wash me, and I shalbe whiter then snowe.

Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

Restore to me the ioy of thy saluation, and stablish me with thy free Spirit.

Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

Then shall I teache thy wayes vnto the wicked, and sinners shalbe conuerted vnto thee.

Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

Open thou my lippes, O Lorde, and my mouth shall shewe foorth thy praise.

For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.

For thou desirest no sacrifice, though I would giue it: thou delitest not in burnt offering.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

The sacrifices of God are a contrite spirit: a contrite and a broken heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

Bee fauourable vnto Zion for thy good pleasure: builde the walles of Ierusalem.

Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

Then shalt thou accept ye sacrifices of righteousnes, euen the burnt offering and oblation: then shall they offer calues vpon thine altar.
