Psalm 51:1-5

¹Have mercy on me, O God,

according to Your loving devotion;

according to Your great compassion,

blot out my transgressions.

²Wash me clean of my iniquity

and cleanse me from my sin.

³For I know my transgressions,

and my sin is always before me.

⁴Against You, You only, have I sinned

and done what is evil in Your sight,

so that You may be proved right when You speak

and blameless when You judge.

⁵Surely I was brought forth in iniquity;

I was sinful when my mother conceived me.

— Psalm 51:1-5
