Lyics

1 Have mercy upon me, O God! 

according to Thy lovingkindness:

according unto the multitude of 

Thy tender mercies blot out my transgressons.



2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, 

and cleanse me from my sin.



3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: 

and my sin is ever before me.



4 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.



5 Create in me a clean heart, O God!

and renew a right spirit within me.



6 Cast me not away from Thy presence; 

and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.



7 Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation;

and uphold me with Thy free Spirit.



8 Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways;

and sinners shall be converted unto Thee.



9 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God!

Thou God of my salvation: 

and my tongue shall sing aloud of Thy righteousness.



10 O Lord! open Thou my lips; 

and my mouth shall show forth Thy praise.
