1. Have mercy on me, O God,because of your unfailing love.Because of your great compassion,blot out the stain of my sins.
2. Wash me clean from my guilt.Purify me from my sin.
3. For I recognize my rebellion;it haunts me day and night.
4. Against you, and you alone, have I sinned;I have done what is evil in your sight.You will be proved right in what you say,and your judgment against me is just.
5. For I was born a sinner—yes, from the moment my mother conceived me.
