1 Be gracious to me, God,

according to your faithful love;

according to your abundant compassion,

blot out my rebellion.z

2 Completely wash away my guilt

and cleanse me from my sin.aa

3 For I am conscious of my rebellion,

and my sin is always before me.ab

4 Against you—you alone—I have sinned

and done this evil in your sight.ac

So you are right when you pass sentence;

you are blameless when you judge.ad
