[1]Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness: according to the multitude of thy compassions put away mine iniquities.
[2]Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
[3]For I know mine iniquities, and my sin is ever before me.
[4]Against thee, against thee only have I sinned, and done evil in thy sight, that thou mayest be just when thou speakest, and pure when thou judgest.
[5]Behold, I was born in iniquity, and in sin hath my mother conceived me.
[6]Behold, thou lovest truth in the inward affections: therefore hast thou taught me wisdom in the secret of mine heart.
[7]Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter then 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 put away 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 thine holy spirit from me.
[12]Restore to me the joy of thy salvation, and establish me with thy free spirit.
[13]Then shall I teach thy ways unto the wicked, and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
[14]Deliver me from blood, O God, which art the God of my salvation, and my tongue shall sing joyfully of thy righteousness.
[15]Open thou my lips, O Lord, and my mouth shall show forth thy praise.
[16]For thou desirest no sacrifice, though I would give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
[17]The sacrifices of God are a contrite spirit: a contrite and a broken heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
[18]Be favorable unto Zion for thy good pleasure: build the walls of Jerusalem.
[19]Then shalt thou accept the sacrifices of righteousness, even the burnt offering and oblation: then shall they offer calves upon thine altar.
