08-45-FR Psaume 50 (Have mercy on me)

1. Have mercy on me,
O God, in your goodness,
In your great tenderness,
Wipe away my fault,
Wash me clean of my guilt,
Purify me from my sin.

2. For I am well
Aware of my faults,
I have my sin
Constantly in mind,
Having sinned against you,
Having done what you regard wrong.

3. Yet, since you love
Sincerity of heart,
Teach me the secrets of wisdom,
Purify me with hyssop,
Until I am clean
Wash me until I am whiter than snow.

4. God, create a
Clean heart in me.
Put into me a
New and constant spirit.
Do not banish me from your presence,
Or deprive me of your Holy Spirit.
