  1.  Have  mercy on me, O God according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.
  2.   Wash  away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
  3.  For i know my transgressions and my sin is always before me.
  4.  Against you, you only, have i sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your judge.
  5.  Surely i was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
  6. Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in the secret place.
  7.  Cleanse me with hyssop, and i will be clean; wash m, and i will be whiter than snow.
