multitude of Thy compassions blot out my transgression. Wash me thoroughly
from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I know mine iniquity, and
my sin is ever before me. Against Thee only have I sinned and done this evil
before Thee, that Thou mightest be justified in Thy words, and prevail when
Thou art judged. For behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my
mother bear me. For behold, Thou hast loved truth; the hidden and secret
things of Thy wisdom hast Thou made manifest unto me. Thou shalt sprinkle
me with hyssop, and I shall be made clean; Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be
made whiter than snow. Thou shalt make me to hear joy and gladness; the
bones that be humbled, they shall rejoice. Turn Thy face away from my sins,
and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a
right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Thy presence, and take not Thy
Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation, and with Thy
governing Spirit establish me. I shall teach transgressors Thy ways, and the
ungodly shall turn back unto Thee. Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God,
Thou God of my salvation; my tongue shall rejoice in Thy righteousness. O
Lord, Thou shalt open my lips, and my mouth shall declare Thy praise. For if
Thou hadst desired sacrifice, I had given it; with whole-burnt offerings Thou
shalt not be pleased. A sacrifice unto God is a broken spirit; a heart that is
broken and humbled God will not despise. Do good, O Lord, in Thy good
pleasure unto Zion, and let the walls of Jerusalem be builded. Then shalt Thou
be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, with oblation and whole-burnt
offerings. Then shall they offer bullocks upon Thine altar.
