Renovari spiritu mentis vestræ et induere novum hominem (Eph 4, 23-24).
Renew your minds and put on the new man (Eph 4:23-24).
Miserére mei, Deus, * secúndum misericórdiam tuam;
Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy.
et secúndum multitúdinem miseratiónum tuárum * dele iniquitátem meam.
And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my iniquity.
Amplius lava me ab iniquitáte mea * et a peccáto meo munda me.
Wash me yet more from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Quóniam iniquitátem meam ego cognósco, * et peccátum meum contra me est semper.
For I know my iniquity, and my sin is always before me.
Tibi, tibi soli peccávi * et malum coram te feci,
6 To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee:
ut iustus inveniáris in senténtia tua * et æquus in iudício tuo.
that thou mayst be justified in thy words, and mayst overcome when thou art judged.
Ecce enim in iniquitáte generátus sum, * et in peccáto concépit me mater mea.
For behold I was conceived in iniquities; and in sins did my mother conceive me.
Ecce enim veritátem in corde dilexísti * et in occúlto sapiéntiam manifestásti mihi.
For behold thou hast loved truth: the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me.
Aspérges me hyssópo, et mundábor; * lavábis me, et super nivem dealbábor.
Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
Audíre me fácies gáudium et lætítiam, * et exsultábunt ossa, quæ contrivísti.
To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.
Avérte fáciem tuam a peccátis meis * et omnes iniquitátes meas dele.
Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
Cor mundum crea in me, Deus, * et spíritum firmum ínnova in viscéribus meis.
Create a clean heart in me, O God: and renew a right spirit within my bowels.
Ne proícias me a fácie tua * et spíritum sanctum tuum ne áuferas a me.
Cast me not away from thy face; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
Redde mihi lætítiam salutáris tui * et spíritu promptíssimo confírma me.
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and strengthen me with a perfect spirit.
Docébo iníquos vias tuas, * et ímpii ad te converténtur.

Non enim sacrifício delectáris, * holocáustum, si ófferam, non placébit.
For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: with burnt offerings thou wilt not be delighted.
Sacrifícium Deo spíritus contribulátus, * cor contrítum et humiliátum, Deus, non despícies.
A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Benígne fac, Dómine, in bona voluntáte tua Sion, * ut ædificéntur muri Ierúsalem.
Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion; that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.
