1 Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness.According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity.Cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I know my transgressions.My sin is constantly before me.
4 Against you, and you only, I have sinned,and done that which is evil in your sight;that you may be proved right when you speak,and justified when you judge.
5 Behold, I was born in iniquity.In sin my mother conceived me.
6 Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts.You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
7 Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean.Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
