CSB Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Christian Standard BibleInternational Standard Version
1Be gracious to me, God, according to your faithful love; according to your abundant compassion, blot out my rebellion.1Have mercy, God, according to your gracious love, according to your unlimited compassion, erase my transgressions.
2Completely wash away my guilt and cleanse me from my sin.2Wash me from my iniquity, cleanse me from my sin.
3For I am conscious of my rebellion, and my sin is always before me.3For I acknowledge my transgression; my sin remains continuously before me.
4Against you--you alone--I have sinned and done this evil in your sight. So you are right when you pass sentence; you are blameless when you judge.4Against you, you only, have I sinned, and done what was evil in your sight. As a result, you are just in your pronouncement and clear in your judgment.
5Indeed, I was guilty when I was born; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.5Indeed, in iniquity I was brought forth; in sin my mother conceived me.
6Surely you desire integrity in the inner self, and you teach me wisdom deep within.6Indeed, you are pleased with truth in the inner person, and you will teach me wisdom in my innermost parts.
7Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.7Purge me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.8Let me know joy and gladness; let the bones that you have broken rejoice.
9Turn your face away from my sins and blot out all my guilt.9Hide your countenance from my sins and erase the record of my iniquities.
10God, create a clean heart for me and renew a steadfast spirit within me.10God, create a pure heart in me, and renew a right attitude within me.
11Do not banish me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.11Do not cast me from your presence; do not take your Holy Spirit from me.
12Restore the joy of your salvation to me, and sustain me by giving me a willing spirit.12Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and let a willing attitude control me.
13Then I will teach the rebellious your ways, and sinners will return to you.13Then I will teach transgressors about your ways, and sinners will turn to you.
14Save me from the guilt of bloodshed, God--God of my salvation--and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.14Deliver me from the guilt of shedding blood, God, God of my salvation. Then my tongue will sing about your righteousness.
15Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.15Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.
16You do not want a sacrifice, or I would give it; you are not pleased with a burnt offering.16Indeed, you do not delight in sacrifices, or I would give them, nor do you desire burnt offerings.
17The sacrifice pleasing to God is a broken spirit. You will not despise a broken and humbled heart, God.17True sacrifice to God is a broken spirit. A broken and chastened heart, God, you will not despise.
18In your good pleasure, cause Zion to prosper; build the walls of Jerusalem.18Show favor to Zion in your good pleasure; and rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
19Then you will delight in righteous sacrifices, whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on your altar.19Then you will be pleased with right sacrifices, with burnt offerings, and with whole burnt offerings. Then they will offer bulls on your altar.
