1Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness.
2Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity.
3For I know my transgressions.
4Against you, and you only, I have sinned,
5Behold, I was born in iniquity.
6Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts.
7Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean.
8Let me hear joy and gladness,
9Hide your face from my sins,
10Create in me a clean heart, O God.
11Don’t throw me from your presence,
12Restore to me the joy of your salvation.
13Then I will teach transgressors your ways.
14Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, the God of my salvation.
15Lord, open my lips.
16For you don’t delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it.
17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit.
18Do well in your good pleasure to Zion.
19Then you will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness,
