1 Have mercy on me, God, according to your faithful love!Wipe away my wrongdoings according to your great compassion!
2 Wash me completely clean of my guilt;purify me from my sin!
3 Because I know my wrongdoings,my sin is always right in front of me.
4 I’ve sinned against you—you alone.I’ve committed evil in your sight.That’s why you are justified when you render your verdict,completely correct when you issue your judgment.
5 Yes, I was born in guilt, in sin,from the moment my mother conceived me.
6 And yes, you want truth in the most hidden places;you teach me wisdom in the most secret space.
7 Purify me with hyssop and I will be clean;wash me and I will be whiter than snow.
