1 You are kind, God!Please have pity on me.You are always merciful!Please wipe away my sins.
2 Wash me clean from allof my sin and guilt.
3 I know about my sins,and I cannot forgetthe burden of my guilt.

5 I have sinned and done wrongsince the day I was born.
6 But you want complete honesty,so teach me true wisdom.
7 Wash me with hyssopuntil I am cleanand whiter than snow.
