- 1Have mercy on me, O God, according to your lovingkindness. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
- 2Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
- 3For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.
- 4Against you, you only, have I sinned and done this evil in your sight, so that you might be justified when you speak and be clear when you judge.
- 5Look, I was shaped in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me.
- 6Look, you desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part you will make me know wisdom.
- 7Purge me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
- 8Make me hear joy and gladness, so that the bones you have broken may rejoice.
- 9Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
- 10Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
- 11Do not cast me away from your presence, and do not take your Holy Spirit from me.
- 12Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain me with your willing spirit.
- 13Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will be converted to you.
- 14Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, you God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.
- 15O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will show forth your praise.
- 16For you do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it. You do not delight in burnt offering.
- 17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and a contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
- 18Do good in your good pleasure to Zion. Build the walls of Jerusalem.
- 19Then you will be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering. Then they will offer bulls on your altar.
