Have mercy on me, O God
According to Your unfailing love
According to Your great compassion
Blot out my transgression
Wash away all my iniquity
And cleanse me from all my sin
For I know my transgression
And my sin is always before me
Against You only have I sinned
And done what is evil in Your sight
So that You are proved right when You speak
And justified when You judge
Surely I was sinful at birth
Surely I was sinful at birth.
Surely Rou desire truth
Truth in the inward parts
And You teach me wisdom
Wisdom in the innermost place
With hyssop make me clean
Wash me whiter than snow
Let me hear joy and gladness
Let the bones You have crushed rejoice
Hide Your face from my sins
And blot out all my iniquity
Create in me a clean heart, O God
And renew a steadfast spirit within me
Create in me a clean heart, O God
And renew a right spirit within me
Cast me not away from Your presence, o Lord
And take not Your Holy Spirit from me
Restore unto me the joy of Your salvation
And grant me a willing spirit to sustain me
Then I will teach transgressors You ways
And sinners will turn back to You
Save me from the guilt upon me
Lord who saves me
And my tongue will sing of Your righteousness
O Lord the God who saves me
Open up my lips and I will declare Your praise
O Lord
You do not delight in sacrifices
Or surely I would bring it
You do not take pleasure in offerings, o Lord
But the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit
And a contrite heart
And the Lord will never despise a broken spirit
And a contrite heart
But the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit
And a contrite heart
And the Lord will never despise a broken spirit
And a contrite heart
In Your good pleasure make Zion prosper
Build up the walls of Jerusalem
Then there will be righteous sacrifices
Whole burnt offerings to delight You
Then bulls will be offered on Your altar
