[1] Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: According to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
[1] ---
[2] Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.
[2] ---
[3] For I know my transgressions; And my sin is ever before me.
[3] ---
[4] Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, And done that which is evil in thy sight; That thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, And be clear when thou judgest.
[4] ---
[5] Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity; And in sin did my mother conceive me.
[5] ---
[6] Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts; And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom.
[6] ---
[7] Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
[7] ---
[8] Make me to hear joy and gladness, That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
[8] ---
[9] Hide thy face from my sins, And blot out all mine iniquities.
[9] ---
[10] Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me.
[10] ---
[11] Cast me not away from thy presence; And take not thy holy Spirit from me.
[11] ---
[12] Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; And uphold me with a willing spirit.
[12] ---
[13] Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; And sinners shall be converted unto thee.
[13] ---
[14] Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation; Andmy tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
[14] ---
[15] O Lord, open thou my lips; And my mouth shall show forth thy praise.
[15] ---
[16] For thou delightest not in sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.
[16] ---
[17] The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
[17] ---
[18] Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: Build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
[18] ---
[19] Then wilt thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, In burnt-offering and whole burnt-offering: Then will they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
