1 After thy loving-kindness, Lord,have mercy upon me:For thy compassions great, blot outall mine iniquity.
2 Me cleanse from sin, and throughly washfrom mine iniquity:
3 For my transgressions I confess;my sin I ever see.
4 'Gainst thee, thee only, have I sinn'd,in thy sight done this ill;That when thou speak'st thou may'st be just,and clear in judging still.
5 Behold, I in iniquitywas form'd the womb within;My mother also me conceiv'din guiltiness and sin.
6 Behold, thou in the inward partswith truth delighted art;And wisdom thou shalt make me knowwithin the hidden part.
