1. Be gracious to me, O God, according to your loyal love. According to your abundant mercies, blot out my transgressions.
2. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and from my sin cleanse me.
3. For I myself know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.
4. Against you, only you, I have sinned and have done this evil in your eyes, so that you are correct when you speak, you are blameless when you judge.
5. Behold, in iniquity I was born, and in sin my mother conceived me.
