1 Have mercy upon me, O God,According to Your lovingkindness;According to the multitude of Your tender mercies,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 always before me.
4 Against You, You only, have I sinned,And done this evil in Your sight—That You may be found just when You speak,And blameless when You judge.
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,And in sin my mother conceived me.
6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.
