^(C1)Be gracious to me, God, according to Your faithfulness; According to the greatness of ^(C2)Your compassion, ^(C3)wipe out my wrongdoings.

For I ^(C1)know my wrongdoings, And my sin is constantly before me.

^(C1)Against You, You only, I have sinned And done what is ^(C2)evil in Your sight, So that ^(C3)You ^(F1)are justified ^(F2)when You speak And ^(F3)blameless when You judge.

Behold, I was ^(C1)brought forth in guilt, And in sin my mother conceived me.

Behold, You desire ^(C1)truth in the ^(F1)innermost being, And in secret You will ^(C2)make wisdom known to me.

^(F1)Purify me ^(C1)with hyssop, and I will be clean; ^(F2)Cleanse me, and I will be ^(C2)whiter than snow.

^(F1)Let me hear ^(C1)joy and gladness, Let the ^(C2)bones You have broken rejoice.

^(C1)Hide Your face from my sins And wipe out all my guilty deeds.

^(C1)Create ^(F1)in me a ^(C2)clean heart, God, And renew a ^(C3)steadfast spirit within me.

^(C1)Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your ^(C2)Holy Spirit from me.

Restore to me the ^(C1)joy of Your salvation, And sustain me with a ^(C2)willing spirit.

Then I will ^(C1)teach wrongdoers Your ways, And sinners will ^(F1)be ^(C2)converted to You.

Save me from ^(C1)the guilt of bloodshed, God, ^(C2)the God of my salvation; Then my ^(C3)tongue will joyfully sing of Your righteousness.

Lord, ^(F1)(C1)open my lips, So that my mouth may ^(C2)declare Your praise.

For You ^(C1)do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; You do not take pleasure in burnt offering.

The sacrifices of God are a ^(C1)broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, God, You will not despise.

^(C1)By Your favor do good to Zion; ^(F1)(C2)Build the walls of Jerusalem.

Then You will delight in ^(F1)(C1)righteous sacrifices, In ^(C2)burnt offering and whole burnt offering; Then ^(F2)bulls will be offered on Your altar.
