* Have mercy upon me , O God , According to Your lovingkindness ; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies , Blot out my transgressions . * Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity , And cleanse me from my sin . * For I acknowledge my transgressions , And my sin is always before me . * Against You , You only , have I sinned , And done this evil in Your sight -- That You may be found just when You speak , And blameless when You judge . * Behold , I was brought forth in iniquity , And in sin my mother conceived me . * Behold , You desire truth in the inward parts , And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom . * Purge me with hyssop , and I shall be clean ; Wash me , and I shall be whiter than snow . * Make me hear joy and gladness , That the bones You have broken may rejoice . * Hide Your face from my sins , And blot out all my iniquities . * Create in me a clean heart , O God , And renew a steadfast spirit within me . * Do not cast me away from Your presence , And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me . * Restore to me the joy of Your salvation , And uphold me by Your generous Spirit . * Then I will teach transgressors Your ways , And sinners shall be converted to You . * Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed , O God , The God of my salvation , And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness . * O Lord , open my lips , And my mouth shall show forth Your praise . * For You do not desire sacrifice , or else I would give it ; You do not delight in burnt offering . * The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit , A broken and a contrite heart -- These , O God , You will not despise . * Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion ; Build the walls of Jerusalem . * Then You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness , With burnt offering and whole burnt offering ; Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar .
