Have mercy upon me, O God, according to THY lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of THY tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
Against THEE, THEE only, have I sinned, and done this evil in THY sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Behold, THOU desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part THOU shalt make me to know wisdom.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which THOU hast broken may rejoice.
Hide THY face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from THY presence; and take not THY HOLY SPIRIT from me.
Restore unto me the joy of THY salvation; and uphold me with THY free spirit.
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, THOU God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of THY righteousness.
O Lord, open THOU my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth THY praise.
For THOU desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: THOU delightest not in burnt offering.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, THOU wilt not despise.
