1. Be gracious unto me, O God according to thy loving-kindness; according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
2. Wash me fully from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3. For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is continually before me.
4. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight; that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest.
5. Behold, in iniquity was I brought forth, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6. Behold, thou wilt have truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden part thou wilt 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 gladness and joy; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
9. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
