Miserere mei Deus,
secundum magnam misericordiam tuam.
Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum,
dele iniquitatem meam.
Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea:
et a peccato meo munda me.
Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco:
et peccatum meum contra me est semper.
Tibi soli peccavi,
et malum coram te feci:
ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis,
et vincas cum judicaris.
Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum:
et in peccatis concepit me mater mea.
Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti:
incerta et occulta sapientiae tuae manifestasti mihi.
Asperges me hyssopo et mundabor:
lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.
Auditui meo dabis gaudium et laetitiam:
et exsultabunt ossa humiliata.
Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis:
et omnes iniquitates meas dele.
Cor mundum crea in me, Deus:
et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis.
Ne projicias me a facie tua:
et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me.
Redde mihi laetitiam salutaris tui:
et spiritu principali confirma me.
Docebo iniquos vias tuas:
et impii ad te convertentur.
Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus,
Deus salutis meae:
et exsultabit lingua mea justitiam tuam.
Domine, labia mea aperies:
et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam.
Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium,
dedissem utique:
holocaustis non delectaberis.
Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus:
cor contritum et humiliatum Deus non despicies.
Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion:
ut aedificentur muri Jerusalem.
Tunc acceptabis sacrificium justitiae,
oblationes et holocausta:
tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos.

Have mercy on me God,
in accordance with your great mercy.
And in accordance with the greatness of your pity,
destroy my wrong-doing.
Furthermore, wash me of my wrong-doing:
and cleanse me of my sin.
For I acknowledge my wrong-doing:
and my sin continually stands against me.
I have sinned against you alone,
and I have done wrong in your presence:
so that you might be justified in your words,
and might conquer when you judge.
For behold, I was born into wrong-doing:
and my mother conceived me amid sin.
For behold, you have esteemed the truth: you have
revealed to me the unknown secrets of your wisdom.
You will anoint me with hyssop and I shall be clean:
you will wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
You will give joy and happiness as I listen:
and bones that have been humbled will rejoice.
Turn your face from my sins:
and destroy all my wrong-doing.
Create a clean heart within me, God:
and renew an upright spirit within my limbs.
Do not throw me from your sight:
and do not take your holy spirit away from me.
Return to me the joy of your salvation:
and strengthen me with your original spirit.
I shall teach wrong-doers your ways:
and the unholy shall be turned to you.
Free me from blood, God,
God of my salvation:
and my tongue will sing of your judgement.
Lord, open my lips:
and my mouth will proclaim your praise.
For if you were to desire a sacrifice,
I would give anything:
you would not be pleased with a burnt offering.
A sacrifice to God is a broken spirit:
a contrite heart, humbled, God, you will not despise.
Act kindly, Lord, to Sion, out of your goodwill:
so that the walls of Jerusalem may be built.
Then you will accept a sacrifice of justice,
libations and burnt offerings:
then they will place calves on your altar.
