 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.
