Wash me right through
Have mercy on me, God, according to your faithful love. According to the greatness of your tender mercies, blot out my wrongdoings. Wash me thoroughly from my wrongdoing, and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my wrongdoings, and my sin is always before me. Against you — you alone — have I sinned, and done this evil in your eyes, so you are justified when you speak and clear when you judge. I was born into wrongdoing; from the moment my mother conceived me, sin was there. You desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part you'll make me know wisdom. Cleanse me with hyssop and I'll be clean. Wash me and I'll be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness, so the bones you've broken can rejoice. Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my wrongdoings. Create in me a clean heart, God, and renew a right spirit within me. Don't cast me away from your presence, and don't take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with your free spirit. Then I'll teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will turn back to you.
Be gracious to me, God, according to your faithful love. According to the greatness of your mercies, wipe out my rebellions. Wash me right through from my wrongdoing and make me clean from my sin. Because I know my rebellions, and my sin is always in front of me. Against you, you only, I've sinned and done what's wrong in your eyes — so you're right when you speak and clear when you judge. Look — I was shaped in wrongdoing, and my mother conceived me in sin. Look — you want truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part you'll make me know wisdom. Clean me with hyssop and I'll be clean. Wash me and I'll be whiter than snow. Make me hear joy and gladness, so the bones you've broken can celebrate. Hide your face from my sins and wipe out all my wrongdoing. Make a clean heart in me, God, and put a steady spirit back inside me. Don't throw me away from your face, and don't take your Holy Spirit off me. Give me back the joy of your salvation, and hold me up with a willing spirit. Then I'll teach rebels your ways, and sinners will turn back to you.
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 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. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
