1
Have mercy upon me O God according to thy lovingkindness according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions
2
Wash me throughly from mine iniquity and cleanse me from my sin
3
For I acknowledge my transgressions and my sin is ever before me
4
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
5
Behold I was shapen in iniquity and in sin did my mother conceive me
6
Behold thou desirest truth in the inward parts and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom
7
Purge me with hyssop and I shall be clean wash me and I shall be whiter than snow
8
Make me to hear joy and gladness that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice
9
Hide thy face from my sins and blot out all mine iniquities
10
Create in me a clean heart O God and renew a right spirit within me
11
Cast me not away from thy presence and take not thy holy spirit from me
12
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation and uphold me with thy free spirit
13
Then will I teach transgressors thy ways and sinners shall be converted unto thee
14
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness O God thou God of my salvation and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness
15
O Lord open thou my lips and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise
16
For thou desirest not sacrifice else would I give it thou delightest not in burnt offering
17
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit a broken and a contrite heart O God thou wilt not despise
18
Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion build thou the walls of Jerusalem
19
Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness with burnt offering and whole burnt offering then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar
