Salmo 50 - Misericórdia, Ó Senhor, Pois Pecamos

Have mercy on us, O Lord, for we have sinned

Have pity on me, O my God, have mercy!
In the vastness of your love, purify me!
Wash me completely from sin
And completely erase my guilt!

Have mercy on us, O Lord, for we have sinned

I acknowledge all my iniquity
My sin is always before me
It was against you, only against you, that I sinned
I did what is evil in your eyes!

Have mercy on us, O Lord, for we have sinned

Create in me a pure heart
Give me a resolute spirit again
O Lord, do not cast me away from your face
Nor take away your holy spirit from me!

Have mercy on us, O Lord, for we have sinned

Give me the joy of salvation again
And confirm me with a generous spirit!
Open my lips, O Lord, to sing
And my mouth will proclaim your praise!

Have mercy on us, O Lord, for we have sinned
