2Sm 11:2
3
Have mercy upon me, O Elohim, according to Thy chesed; according unto the multitude of Thy rachamim blot out my peysha'im (transgressions, rebellions).
4
Wash me thoroughly from mine avon (iniquity), and cleanse me from my chattat (sin).
5
For I acknowledge my peysha'im (transgressions, rebellions); and my chattat (sin) is ever before me.
6
Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done the rah in Thy sight; that Thou mightest be found just when Thou speakest, and be blameless when Thou judgest.
7
Surely, I was brought forth in avon; and in chet did immi conceive me.
1
Notes
+
i.e., I was a sinner from conception
8
Surely Thou desirest emes in the inward parts; and in the inmost place Thou shalt make me to know chochmah.
9
Purge me with ezov (hyssop), and I shall be tahor; wash me, and I shall be whiter than sheleg (snow).
10
Make me to hear sasson and simchah; that the atzmot which Thou hast broken may rejoice.
11
Hide Thy face from my chatta'im, and blot out all mine avonot.
12
Bara in me a lev tahor, O Elohim; and renew a ruach nekhon (steadfast spirit) within me.

i.e., regeneration Ezek 36:26; Yn 3:3,6
13
Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy Ruach Hakodesh from me.
14
Restore unto me the sasson of Thy salvation; and uphold me with a ruach nedivah (a willing spirit).

have a spiritual turnaround; see Isa 6:10
16
Save me from damim (bloodguiltiness), O Elohim, Thou Elohei Teshuati; and my leshon shall sing aloud of Thy tzedakah.
17
Adonoi, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall show forth Thy tehillah (praise).
18
For Thou desirest not zevach (sacrifice); else would I give it; Thou delightest not in olah (burnt offering).
19
The zivkhei Elohim are a ruach nishbarah (broken spirit); a broken and contrite lev, O Elohim, Thou wilt not despise.
20
Do good in Thy good pleasure unto Tziyon; build Thou the chomot Yerushalayim.
21
Then shalt Thou be pleased with zivkhei tzedek (true sacrifices, sacrifices of righteousness), with olah (burnt offering) and whole burnt offering; then shall they offer parim (bulls) upon Thine Mizbe'ach.
