HAVE mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015242">2</a>. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015243">3</a>. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015244">4</a>. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015245">5</a>. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015246">6</a>. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015247">7</a>. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015248">8</a>. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015249">9</a>. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015250">10</a>. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015251">11</a>. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015252">12</a>. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.</li>
