et secúndum multitúdinem miseratiónum tuárum * dele iniquitátem meam.

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.

Redde mihi lætítiam salutáris tui * et spíritu promptíssimo confírma me.

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.
