Have
mercy upon me, O
God, according to thy
lovingkindness: according unto the
multitude of thy tender
mercies blot
out my
transgressions.
2
Wash me
throughly from mine
iniquity, and
cleanse me from my
sin.
3
For I
acknowledge my
transgressions: and my
sin is
ever before me.
4
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 .
5
Behold, I was
shapen in
iniquity; and in
sin did my
mother conceive me.
6
Behold, thou
desirest truth in the inward
parts: and in the
hidden part thou shalt make me to
know wisdom.
7
Purge me with
hyssop, and I shall be
clean :
wash me, and I shall be
whiter than
snow.
8
Make me to
hear joy and
gladness; that the
bones which thou hast
broken may
rejoice .

9
Hide thy
face from my
sins, and blot
out all mine
iniquities.
11
Cast me not
away from thy
presence; and
take not thy
holy spirit from me.
12
Restore unto me the
joy of thy
salvation; and
uphold me with thy
free spirit.
13
Then will I
teach transgressors thy
ways; and
sinners shall be
converted unto thee.
15
O
Lord, open thou my
lips; and my
mouth shall shew
forth thy
praise.
16
For thou
desirest not
sacrifice; else would I
give it: thou
delightest not in burnt
offering.

Do
good in thy good
pleasure unto
Zion: build thou the
walls of
Jerusalem.
19
Then shalt thou be
pleased with the
sacrifices of
righteousness, with burnt
offering and
whole burnt
offering: then shall they
offer bullocks upon thine
altar.
