1. Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness.According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
2. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity.Cleanse me from my sin.
3. For I know my transgressions.My sin is constantly before me.
4. Against you, and you only, I have sinned,and done that which is evil in your sight;that you may be proved right when you speak,and justified when you judge.
5. Behold, I was born in iniquity.In sin my mother conceived me.
6. Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts.You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
7. Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean.Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
