1 Have mercy upon me, O God,according to thy loving-kindness:according unto the multitude of thy tender merciesblot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity,and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions:and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned,and done this evil in thy sight:that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity;and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts:and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
