pity me my God according to
your great mercy
and according to your multitudinous mercies remove my iniquity
further cleanse me of my iniquity and of my sin wash me
because I know my iniquity and my sin is before me ever
you alone have I wronged and done wrong before to justify you in your word
and your judgment uphold
behold me in iniquity conceived and in sin conceived me my mother
behold your pleasure is truth odd and occult knowledge you manifested to me
asperge me with hyssop and wash me cleanse me and I shall be more white than
snow
you will make me hear of joy and gladness and exultant shall my humbled bones
be
avert your face from my sin and all my iniquity remove
a heart that is clean create in me my God and a spirit right renew within me
eject me not from your face and your holy spirit do not withdraw
restore me your salvation's gladness and strengthen me in perfect spirit
I will show the iniquitous your ways and the impious shall be converted
free me of blood-guilt my God my God my salvation and my tongue shall exult
in your justice
Lord open my lips and my mouth shall announce your praise
because if you desired sacrifice I would offer holocaust is not your pleasure
sacrifice to God is spirit afflicted a heart contrite and humble God despises
not
do well Lord in your good will to Zion let the walls of Jerusalem rise
then accept just sacrifice oblation and holocaust then shall calves be on
your altars
