HAVE mercy upon me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; according to the multitude of Your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.

2 Wash me throughtly from my iniquity, and claeanse me from my sin.

3 For I acknowledge my transgression, and my sin is always before me.

4 Again You, You only, have I sinned, and done this evil in Your sight that You may found just when You speak, and blameless when You judge.

5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother concieved me.

6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.

7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8 Make me hear joy and gladness, that the bones You have broken my rejoice.

9 Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.

10 Creat in me a claen heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

11 Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.

12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me by Your generous Spirit.

13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners shall converted You.

14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.

15 O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall show forth Your praise.

16 For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering.

17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart - these, O God, You will not despise.

18 Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Then You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering;  then they shall offer bulls on Your altars. PSALM 51
