Have mercy upon me, o God, according to thy lovingkindness According unto the multitude of thy tender mercies Blot out my transgressions, wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity And cleanse me from my sin For I acknowledge my transgressions and my sin is ever before me Against thee, thee only, have I sinned And done this evil in thy sight That thou mightest be justified when thou speakest And be clear when thou judgest Behold, I was shapen in iniquity And in sin did my mother conceive me Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts And in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom Purge me with hyssop And I shall be clean Hide thy face from my sins And blot out all mine iniquities Create in me a clean heart, o God And renew a right spirit within me Cast me not away from thy presence
