1. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: According to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.
3. For I know my transgressions; And my sin is ever before me.
4. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, And done that which is evil in thy sight; That thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, And be clear when thou judgest.
