1Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: According to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.
3For I know my transgressions; And my sin is ever before me.
4Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, And done that which is evil in thy sight; That thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, And be clear when thou judgest.
5Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity; And in sin did my mother conceive me.
6Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts; And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom.
7Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
