1 Have mercy on me, O God,according to Your lovingkindness;according to the abundance of Your compassion,blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions,and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against You, You only, have I sinned,and done this evil in Your sight,so that You are justified when You speak,and You are blameless when You judge.
5 I was brought forth in iniquity,and in sin my mother conceived me.
6 You desire truth in the inward parts,and in the hidden part You make me to know wisdom.
7 Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean;wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
