  • Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy.
    According unto the multitude of Thy tender mercies remove my transgressions.
    Wash me thoroughly from my iniquities, and cleanse me from my sin.
    I knowingly confess my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
    Against Thee only have I sinned, and done evil before Thee: that they may be justified in Thy sayings, and might they overcome when I am judged.
    But behold, I was formed in iniquity: and in sin did my mother conceive me.
    Behold, Thou desires truth in my inner most being: and shalt make me to understand wisdom secretly.
    Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, make me whiter than snow.
    Open my ears and make me hear of joy and gladness: and my bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.
    Turn away Thy face from my sins: and remember not all my misdeeds.
    Create in me a clean heart, O God: and make anew a righteous spirit within my body.
    Do not cast me away from Thy presence: and take not Thy holy spirit from me.
    Restore unto me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.
    I will teach those that are unjust Thy ways: and sinners shall be converted unto Thee.
    Deliver me from blood, O God, the God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing of Thy righteousness.
    O Lord, open my lips: and my mouth shall spring forth Thy praise.
    For Thou desires no sacrifice, where others would: with burnt offerings Thou wilt not be delighted.
    Sacrifices of God are broken spirits: dejected and contrite hearts, O God, Thou wilt not despise.
    Deal favorably, O Lord, in Thy good pleasure unto Zion: build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.
    Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with small and large burnt offerings: then shall they lay calves upon your altar.
