Psalms 51:1-8

1. 1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

2. 2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

3. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

4. 4 Against 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.

5. 5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

6. 6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

7. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8. 8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
