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
