¹ Have mercy on me, O God, according to your lovingkindness: according to the multitude of your 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 you, you only, have I sinned, and done this evil in your sight: that you might be justified when you speaks, and be clear when you judges. ⁵ See, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. ⁶ See, you desires truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part you will make me to know wisdom. ⁷ Purge me with hyssop, and I will be clean: wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. ⁸ Make me to hear joy and gladness that the bones which you have broken may rejoice. ⁹ Hide your 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 your presence and take not your holy spirit from me. ¹² Restore to me the joy of your salvation and uphold me with your free spirit. ¹³ Then will I teach transgressors your ways and sinners will be converted to you. ¹⁴ Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, you God of my salvation: and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness. ¹⁵ O Lord, open you my lips; and my mouth will recount your praise. ¹⁶ For you desires not sacrifice else would I give it: you delightest not in burnt offering. ¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. ¹⁸ Do good in your good pleasure to Zion: build you the walls of Jerusalem. ¹⁹ Then will you be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then will they offer bullocks on your altar.
