1  aHave mercy upon me, O God, aaccording to thy lovingkindness:

According unto the multitude of thy tender mercies bblot out my transgressions.

2  cWash me throughly from mine iniquity,

And cleanse me from my sin.

3  For dI acknowledge my transgressions:

And my sin is eever before me.

4  fAgainst thee, thee only, have I sinned,

And done this evil gin thy sight:

hThat thou mightest be justified when thou speakest,

And be clear when thou judgest.

5  Behold, iI was shapen in iniquity;

And in sin did my mother †conceive me.

6  Behold, thou desirest truth jin the inward parts:

And in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

7  kPurge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:

cWash me, and lI shall be whiter than snow.

8  Make me to hear joy and gladness;

That mthe bones which thou hast nbroken may rejoice.

9  oHide thy face from my sins,

And bblot out all mine iniquities.

10  Create in me pa clean heart, O God;

And qrenew ||a rright spirit within me.

11  sCast me not away tfrom thy presence;

And take not uthy holy spirit from me.

12  Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation;

And uphold me with thy wfree spirit.

13  Then will I teach transgressors thy ways;

And sinners shall be xconverted unto thee.

14  Deliver me from †ybloodguiltiness, O God, thou zGod of my salvation:

And amy tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
