1 Have pity on me, O God, in keeping with your mercy.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my guilt,
3 I admit that I am rebellious.
4 I have sinned against you, especially you.
5 Indeed, I was born guilty.
6 Yet, you desire truth and sincerity.
7 Purify me from sin with hyssop, and I will be clean.
8 Let me hear ⌞sounds of⌟ joy and gladness.
9 Hide your face from my sins,
10 Create a clean heart in me, O God,
11 Do not force me away from your presence,
12 Restore the joy of your salvation to me,
13 ⌞Then⌟ I will teach your ways to those who are rebellious,
14 Rescue me from the guilt of murder,
15 O Lord, open my lips,
16 You are not happy with any sacrifice.
17 The sacrifice pleasing to God is a broken spirit.
18 Favor Zion with your goodness.
19 Then you will be pleased with sacrifices offered in the right spirit—
