1 God, be merciful to me because of your faithful love. Because of your great compassion, erase all the wrongs I have done.
2 Scrub away my guilt. Wash me clean from my sin.
3 I know I have done wrong. I remember that sin all the time.
4 I did what you said is wrong. You are the one I have sinned against. I say this so that people will know that I am wrong and you are right. What you decided is fair.
5 I was born to do wrong, a sinner before I left my mother’s womb.
6 You want me to be completely loyal, so put true wisdom deep inside of me.
