Latin text

¹ In finem. Psalmus David, ² cum venit ad eum Nathan propheta, quando intravit ad Bethsabee.
³ Miserere mei, Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam ;
et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam.
⁴ Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea,
et a peccato meo munda me.
⁵ Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco,
et peccatum meum contra me est semper.
⁶ Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci ;
ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis,
et vincas cum judicaris.
⁷ Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum,
et in peccatis concepit me mater mea.
⁸ Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti ;
incerta et occulta sapientiæ tuæ manifestasti mihi.
⁹ Asperges me hyssopo, et mundabor ;
lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.
¹⁰ Auditui meo dabis gaudium et lætitiam,
et exsultabunt ossa humiliata.
¹¹ Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis,
et omnes iniquitates meas dele.
¹² Cor mundum crea in me, Deus,
et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis.
¹³ Ne projicias me a facie tua,
et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me.
¹⁴ Redde mihi lætitiam salutaris tui,
et spiritu principali confirma me.
¹⁵ Docebo iniquos vias tuas,
et impii ad te convertentur.
¹⁶ Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus, Deus salutis meæ,
et exsultabit lingua mea justitiam tuam.
¹⁷ Domine, labia mea aperies,
et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam.
¹⁸ Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium, dedissem utique ;
¹⁹ Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus ;
cor contritum et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies.
²⁰ Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion,
²¹ Tunc acceptabis sacrificium justitiæ, oblationes et holocausta ;
tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos.
