^3 (G)For I know my transgressions,
    and my sin is ever before me.
^4 (H)Against you, you only, have I sinned
    and done what is evil ^(I)in your sight,
^(J)so that you may be justified in your words
    and blameless in your judgment.
⁵ Behold, ^(K)I was brought forth in iniquity,
    and in sin did my mother conceive me.
⁶ Behold, you delight in truth in ^(L)the inward being,
    and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.

⁷ Purge me ^(M)with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
    ^(N)wash me, and I shall be ^(O)whiter than snow.
⁸ Let me hear joy and gladness;
    ^(P)let the bones ^(Q)that you have broken rejoice.
^9 (R)Hide your face from my sins,
    and ^(S)blot out all my iniquities.
^10 (T)Create in me a ^(U)clean heart, O God,
    and ^(V)renew a right^[b] spirit within me.
^11 (W)Cast me not away from your presence,
    and take not ^(X)your Holy Spirit from me.
¹² Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
    and uphold me with a willing spirit.

¹³ Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
    and sinners will ^(Y)return to you.
¹⁴ Deliver me from ^(Z)bloodguiltiness, O God,
    O ^(AA)God of my salvation,
    and ^(AB)my tongue will sing aloud of your ^(AC)righteousness.
¹⁵ O Lord, open my lips,
    and my mouth will declare your praise.
^16 (AD)For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;
    you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.
¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are ^(AE)a broken spirit;
    a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

^18 (AF)Do good to Zion in your good pleasure;
    ^(AG)build up the walls of Jerusalem;
¹⁹ then will you delight in ^(AH)right sacrifices,
    in burnt offerings and ^(AI)whole burnt offerings;
    then bulls will be offered on your altar.

^2 (B)Let Israel say,
    “His steadfast love endures forever.”
^3 (C)Let the house of Aaron say,
    “His steadfast love endures forever.”
^4 (D)Let those who fear the Lord say,
    “His steadfast love endures forever.”

^5 (E)Out of my distress I ^(F)called on the Lord;
    the Lord answered me and set me ^(G)free.
^6 (H)The Lord is on my side; ^(I)I will not fear.
    What can man do to me?
^7 (J)The Lord is on my side as my helper;
    I shall ^(K)look in triumph on those who hate me.

^8 (L)It is better to take refuge in the Lord
    ^(M)than to trust in man.
⁹ It is better to take refuge in the Lord
    ^(N)than to trust in princes.

^10 (O)All nations surrounded me;
    in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
¹¹ They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side;
    in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
^12 (P)They surrounded me like bees;
    they went out like ^(Q)a fire among thorns;
    in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
¹³ I was ^(R)pushed hard,^[a] so that I was falling,
    but the Lord helped me.

¹⁴ The Lord is my strength and my song;
    ^(S)he has become my salvation.
¹⁵ Glad songs of salvation
    are in the tents of the righteous:
^(T)“The right hand of the Lord ^(U)does valiantly,
¹⁶     the right hand of the Lord exalts,
    the right hand of the Lord ^(V)does valiantly!”

^17 (W)I shall not die, but I shall live,
    and ^(X)recount the deeds of the Lord.
¹⁸ The Lord has ^(Y)disciplined me severely,
    but he has not given me over to death.

^19 (Z)Open to me the gates of righteousness,
    that I may enter through them
    and give thanks to the Lord.
²⁰ This is the gate of the Lord;
    ^(AA)the righteous shall enter through it.
²¹ I thank you that ^(AB)you have answered me
    ^(AC)and have become my salvation.
^22 (AD)The stone that the builders rejected
    has become the cornerstone.^[b]
23 This is the Lord's doing;
    it is marvelous in our eyes.
²⁴ This is the day that the Lord has made;
    let us rejoice and be glad in it.

²⁵ Save us, we pray, O Lord!
    O Lord, we pray, give us success!

^26 (AE)Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
    We ^(AF)bless you from the house of the Lord.
²⁷ The Lord is God,
    and he has made ^(AG)his light to shine upon us.
Bind the festal sacrifice with cords,
    up to ^(AH)the horns of the altar!

²⁸ You are my God, and I will give thanks to you;
    you are my God; I will ^(AI)extol you.
^29 (AJ)Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
    for his steadfast love endures forever!

³ Praise him with ^(F)trumpet sound;
    praise him with ^(G)lute and ^(H)harp!
⁴ Praise him with ^(I)tambourine and ^(J)dance;
    praise him with ^(K)strings and ^(L)pipe!
⁵ Praise him with sounding ^(M)cymbals;
    praise him with loud clashing cymbals!
⁶ Let ^(N)everything that has breath praise the Lord!
^(O)Praise the Lord!
