| Have mercy on me, O God, according to your great mercy.
|
| And according to the greatness of your compassion, blot out my iniquity.
|
| Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
|
| For I acknowledge my iniquity: and my sin is always against me.
|
| I have sinned against you alone, and I have done evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your sayings
|
| and you will wink when you are judged.
|
| For, lo, I was conceived in sins, and in sins my mother conceived me.
|
| For behold you have loved the truth: you have revealed the uncertain and hidden things of your wisdom
|
| to me.
|
| You shall sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: you shall wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
|
| To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness; and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.
|
| Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
|
| Create a clean heart in me, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
|
| Cast me not away from your face, and do not take away your holy spirit from me.
|
| Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and strengthen me with a strong spirit.
|
| I will teach the unjust your ways, and the wicked will be converted to yourselves.
|
| Deliver me from the blood, O God, God of my salvation
|
| your righteousness
|
| Lord, you will open my lips and he will declare your praise to me.
|
| For if you had desired sacrifice, I would have given it: you will not be delighted with burnt-offerings.
|
| Sacrifice to God a broken spirit: a broken and a humbled heart, O God,
|
| don't look down.
|
| Deal favorably, O Lord, with your good will in Sion: that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.
|
| Then you will accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations, and burnt offerings.
|
| then they shall lay calves upon your altar. |
