2 Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is continually before me.

4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight; that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest.
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge.

6 Behold, thou wilt have truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden [part] thou wilt make me to know wisdom.
6 Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Make me to hear gladness and joy; [that] the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

14 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, you who are God my Savior, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
15 Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare thy praise.

16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.
16 You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
17 My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise.
18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem.
18 May it please you to prosper Zion, to build up the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then shalt thou have sacrifices of righteousness, burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering; then shall they offer up bullocks upon thine altar.
19 Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous, in burnt offerings offered whole; then bulls will be offered on your altar.
