1. After thy loving-kindness, Lord,have mercy upon me:For thy compassions great, blot outall mine iniquity.
2. Me cleanse from sin, and throughly washfrom mine iniquity:
3. For my transgressions I confess;my sin I ever see.
4. 'Gainst thee, thee only, have I sinn'd,in thy sight done this ill;That when thou speak'st thou may'st be just,and clear in judging still.
5. Behold, I in iniquitywas form'd the womb within;My mother also me conceiv'din guiltiness and sin.
6. Behold, thou in the inward partswith truth delighted art;And wisdom thou shalt make me knowwithin the hidden part.
7. Do thou with hyssop sprinkle me,I shall be cleansed so;Yea, wash thou me, and then I shallbe whiter than the snow.
8. Of gladness and of joyfulnessmake me to hear the voice;That so these very bones which thouhast broken may rejoice.
9. All mine iniquities blot out,thy face hide from my sin.
