| 1 | Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy steadfast love; according to thy abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. |
| 2 | Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! |
| 3 | For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. |
| 4 | Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in thy sight, so that thou art justified in thy sentence and blameless in thy judgment. |
| 5 | Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. |
| 6 | Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward being; therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart. |
| 7 | Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. |
| 8 | Fill me with joy and gladness; let the bones which thou hast broken rejoice. |
| 9 | Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. |
| 10 | Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me. |
| 11 | Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy holy Spirit from me. |
| 12 | Restore to me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. |
| 13 | Then I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners will return to thee. |
| 14 | Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of thy deliverance. |
| 15 | O Lord, open thou my lips, and my mouth shall show forth thy praise. |
| 16 | For thou hast no delight in sacrifice; were I to give a burnt offering, thou wouldst not be pleased. |
| 17 | The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. |
| 18 | Do good to Zion in thy good pleasure; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, |
| 19 | then wilt thou delight in right sacrifices, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on thy altar. |
