1 Have mercy on me, O God, in your great goodness; ♦︎
according to the abundance of your compassion
blot out my offences.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my wickedness ♦︎
and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my faults ♦︎
and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against you only have I sinned ♦︎
and done what is evil in your sight,
5 So that you are justified in your sentence ♦︎
and righteous in your judgement.
17 For you desire no sacrifice, else I would give it; ♦︎
you take no delight in burnt offerings.
18 The sacrifice of God is a broken spirit; ♦︎
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
