Psalms 51:1-7

1Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions.

2Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.

3For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is always before me.

4Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight— That You may be found just when You speak, And blameless when You judge.

5Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.

6Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.

7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
