1. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy mercy; according unto the multitude of thy compassion eradicate my rebellion.
2. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
3. For I acknowledge my rebellion; and my sin is ever before me.
4. Against thee, against thee only, have I sinned and done this evil in thy sight that thou be declared just in thy word and pure in thy judgment.
