1 Have mercy on me, O God, because of your loyal love!Because of your great compassion, wipe away my rebellious acts!
2 Wash away my wrongdoing!Cleanse me of my sin!
3 For I am aware of my rebellious acts;I am forever conscious of my sin.
4 Against you – you above all – I have sinned;I have done what is evil in your sight.So you are just when you confront me;you are right when you condemn me.
5 Look, I was guilty of sin from birth,a sinner the moment my mother conceived me.
6 Look, you desire integrity in the inner man;you want me to possess wisdom.
