[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.
