1. Have pity on me, O God, in keeping with your mercy.In keeping with your unlimited compassion, wipe out my rebellious acts.
2. Wash me thoroughly from my guilt,and cleanse me from my sin.
3. I admit that I am rebellious.My sin is always in front of me.
4. I have sinned against you, especially you.I have done what you consider evil.So you hand down justice when you speak,and you are blameless when you judge.
5. Indeed, I was born guilty.I was a sinner when my mother conceived me.
6. Yet, you desire truth and sincerity.Deep down inside me you teach me wisdom.
7. Purify me from sin with hyssop, and I will be clean.Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
