1 God, be merciful to mebecause you are loving.Because you are always ready to be merciful,wipe out all my wrongs.
2 Wash away all my guiltand make me clean again.
3 I know about my wrongs.I can’t forget my sin.
4 You are the one I have sinned against.I have done what you say is wrong.So you are right when you speak.You are fair when you judge me.
5 I was brought into this world in sin.In sin my mother gave birth to me.
6 You want me to be completely truthful.So teach me wisdom.
7 Take away my sin, and I will be clean.Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
