1לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽדFor the leader. A psalm of David,Lamnatzecha mizmor ledavid
2בְּֽבוֹא־אֵלָיו נָתָן הַנָּבִיא כַּאֲשֶׁר־בָּא אֶל־בַּת־שָֽׁבַעwhen Nathan the prophet came to him after he had come to Bathsheba.Bevo-elayv natan hanavi kaasher-ba el-bat-shava
3חׇנֵּנִי אֱלֹהִים כְּחַסְדֶּךָ כְּרֹב רַחֲמֶיךָ מְחֵה פְשָׁעָֽיHave mercy upon me, O God, as befits Your faithfulness; in keeping with Your abundant compassion, blot out my transgressions.Choneni elohim kechasdecha kerov rachameycha mecheh feshaay
4(הרבה) [הֶרֶב] כַּבְּסֵנִי מֵעֲוֺנִי וּֽמֵחַטָּאתִי טַהֲרֵֽנִיWash me thoroughly of my iniquity, and purify me of my sin;(hrv) [herev] kabseni meaoni umechatati tahareni
5כִּֽי־פְשָׁעַי אֲנִי אֵדָע וְחַטָּאתִי נֶגְדִּי תָמִֽידfor I recognize my transgressions, and am ever conscious of my sin.Ki-feshaay ani eda vechatati negdi tamid
6לְךָ לְבַדְּךָ חָטָאתִי וְהָרַע בְּעֵינֶיךָ עָשִׂיתִי לְמַעַן תִּצְדַּק בְּדׇבְרֶךָ תִּזְכֶּה בְשׇׁפְטֶֽךָAgainst You alone have I sinned, and done what is evil in Your sight; so You are just in Your sentence, and right in Your judgment.Lecha levadcha chatati vehara beeyneycha asiti lemaan titzdak bedovrecha tizkeh veshoftecha
7הֵן־בְּעָווֹן חוֹלָלְתִּי וּבְחֵטְא יֶחֱמַתְנִי אִמִּֽיIndeed I was born with iniquity; with sin my mother conceived me.Hen-beavon cholalti uvchet yechematni imi
8הֵן־אֱמֶת חָפַצְתָּ בַטֻּחוֹת וּבְסָתֻם חׇכְמָה תוֹדִיעֵֽנִיIndeed You desire truth about that which is hidden; teach me wisdom about secret things.Hen-emet chafatzta vatuchot uvsatum chochmah todieni
9תְּחַטְּאֵנִי בְאֵזוֹב וְאֶטְהָר תְּכַבְּסֵנִי וּמִשֶּׁלֶג אַלְבִּֽיןPurge me with hyssop till I am pure; wash me till I am whiter than snow.Techateni veezov veethar techabseni umisheleg albin
10תַּשְׁמִיעֵנִי שָׂשׂוֹן וְשִׂמְחָה תָּגֵלְנָה עֲצָמוֹת דִּכִּֽיתָLet me hear tidings of joy and gladness; let the bones You have crushed exult.Tashmieni sason vesimchah tagelnah atzamot dikita
11הַסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ מֵחֲטָאָי וְֽכׇל־עֲוֺנֹתַי מְחֵֽהHide Your face from my sins; blot out all my iniquities.Haster paneycha mechataay vechol-aonotay mecheh
12לֵב טָהוֹר בְּרָא־לִי אֱלֹהִים וְרוּחַ נָכוֹן חַדֵּשׁ בְּקִרְבִּֽיFashion a pure heart for me, O God; create in me a steadfast spirit.Lev tahor bera-li elohim verucha nachon chadesh bekirbi
13אַל־תַּשְׁלִיכֵנִי מִלְּפָנֶיךָ וְרוּחַ קׇדְשְׁךָ אַל־תִּקַּח מִמֶּֽנִּיDo not cast me out of Your presence, or take Your holy spirit away from me.Al-tashlicheni milfaneycha verucha kodshcha al-tikach mimeni
14הָשִׁיבָה לִּי שְׂשׂוֹן יִשְׁעֶךָ וְרוּחַ נְדִיבָה תִסְמְכֵֽנִיLet me again rejoice in Your help; let a vigorous spirit sustain me.Hashivah li seson yishecha verucha nedivah tismcheni
15אֲלַמְּדָה פֹשְׁעִים דְּרָכֶיךָ וְחַטָּאִים אֵלֶיךָ יָשֽׁוּבוּI will teach transgressors Your ways, that sinners may return to You.Alamdah foshim deracheycha vechataim eleycha yashuvu
16הַצִּילֵנִי מִדָּמִים אֱֽלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵי תְשׁוּעָתִי תְּרַנֵּן לְשׁוֹנִי צִדְקָתֶֽךָSave me from bloodguilt, O God, God, my deliverer, that I may sing forth Your beneficence.Hatzileni midamim elohim elohey teshuati teranen leshoni tzidkatecha
17אֲדֹנָי שְׂפָתַי תִּפְתָּח וּפִי יַגִּיד תְּהִלָּתֶֽךָO my Sovereign, open my lips, and let my mouth declare Your praise.Adonay sefatay tiftach ufi yagid tehilatecha
18כִּי לֹא־תַחְפֹּץ זֶבַח וְאֶתֵּנָה עוֹלָה לֹא תִרְצֶֽהYou do not want me to bring sacrifices; You do not desire burnt offerings;Ki lo-tachpotz zevach veetenah olah lo tirtzeh
19זִבְחֵי אֱלֹהִים רוּחַ נִשְׁבָּרָה לֵב־נִשְׁבָּר וְנִדְכֶּה אֱלֹהִים לֹא תִבְזֶֽהTrue sacrifice to God is a contrite spirit; God, You will not despise a contrite and crushed heart.Zivchey elohim rucha nishbarah lev-nishbar venidkeh elohim lo tivzeh
20הֵיטִיבָה בִרְצוֹנְךָ אֶת־צִיּוֹן תִּבְנֶה חוֹמוֹת יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִםMay it please You to make Zion prosper; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.Heytivah virtzoncha et-tzion tivneh chomot yerushalam
21אָז תַּחְפֹּץ זִבְחֵי־צֶדֶק עוֹלָה וְכָלִיל אָז יַעֲלוּ עַל־מִזְבַּחֲךָ פָרִֽיםThen You will want sacrifices offered in righteousness, burnt and whole offerings; then bulls will be offered on Your altar.Az tachpotz zivchey-tzedek olah vechalil az yaalu al-mizbachacha farim
