1
<
> 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 thoroughly 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 shaped in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6
Behold, Thou desirest truth in my inward parts; 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.
10
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
