Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy; according to the multitude of Your compassion blot out my transgression.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
For I know my transgression, and my sin is ever before me.
Against You alone have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You are just in Your sentence and blameless in Your judgement.
Behold, I was conceived in iniquity, and in sin my mother bore me.
Behold, You love truth in the heart; You have shown me the hidden secrets of Your wisdom.
Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Let me hear joy and gladness, and the bones You have crushed will rejoice.
Turn Your face away from my sins and blot out all my iniquities.
Create a clean heart in me, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit.
I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will return to You.
Deliver me from bloodguilt, O God, God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing joyfully of Your righteousness.
O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praise.
For if You desired sacrifice, I would give it; but You take no delight in burnt offerings.
The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit; a broken and humbled heart, O God, You will not despise.
Do good to Zion in Your good pleasure; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
Then You will delight in right sacrifices, in offerings and whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on Your altar.
