1Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.2Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.3For I acknowledge my transgressions:and my sin is ever before me.4Against 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.5Behold, I was shapen in iniquity;and in sin did my mother conceive me.6Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts:and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.8Make me to hear joy and gladness;that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.9Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.10Create in me a clean heart, O God;and renew a right spirit within me.11Cast me not away from thy presence;and take not thy holy spirit from me.12Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation;and uphold me with thy free spirit.13Then will I teach transgressors thy ways;and sinners shall be converted unto thee.14Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation:and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.15O Lord, open thou my lips;and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.16For thou desirest not sacrifice;else would I give it:thou delightest not in burnt offering.17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit:a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.18Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion:build thou the walls of Jerusalem.19Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering:then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
