1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to your great mercy; and according to the multitude of your compassions blot out my transgression.10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit in my inward parts.11 Cast me not away from your presence; and remove not your holy Spirit from me.12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation: establish me with your directing Spirit.13 Then will I teach transgressors your ways; and ungodly men shall turn to you.14 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation: and my tongue shall joyfully declare your righteousness.15 O Lord, you shall open my lips; and my mouth shall declare your praise.16 For if you desired sacrifice, I would have given it: you will not take pleasure in whole burnt offerings.17 Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit: a broken and humbled heart God will not despise.18 Do good, O Lord, to Sion in your good pleasure; and let the walls of Jerusalem be built.19 Then shall you be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, offering, and whole burnt sacrifices: then shall they offer calves upon your altar.2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.3 For I am conscious of my iniquity; and my sin is continually before me.4 Against you only have I sinned, and done evil before you: that you might be justified in your sayings, and might overcome when you are judged.5 For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me.6 For, behold, you love truth: you have manifested to me the secret and hidden things of your wisdom.7 You shall sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: you shall wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.8 You shall cause me to hear gladness and joy: the afflicted bones shall rejoice.9 Turn away your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
