1 But what must we say of David that obtained a good report? of whom God said, I have found a man after My heart, David the son of Jesse: with eternal mercy have I anointed him. (1CL) 2 Yet he too saith unto God Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Thy great mercy; and according to the multitude of Thy compassions, blot out mine iniquity. (1CL) 3 Wash me yet more from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge mine iniquity, and my sin is ever before me. Against Thee only did I sin, and I wrought evil in Thy sight; that Thou mayest be justified in Thy words, and mayest conquer in Thy pleading. (1CL) 4 For behold, in iniquities was I conceived, and in sins did my mother bear me. For behold Thou hast loved truth: the dark and hidden things of Thy wisdom hast Thou showed unto me. (1CL) 5 Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be made clean. Thou shalt wash me, and I shall become whiter than snow. (1CL) 6 Thou shalt make me to hear of joy and gladness. The bones which have been humbled shall rejoice. (1CL) 7 Turn away Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. (1CL) 8 Make a clean heart within me, O God, and renew a right spirit in mine inmost parts. Cast me not away from Thy presence, and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. (1CL) 9 Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation, and strengthen me with a princely spirit. (1CL) 10 I will teach sinners Thy ways, and godless men shall be converted unto Thee. (1CL) 11 Deliver me from blood guiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation. My tongue shall rejoice in Thy righteousness. (1CL) 12 Lord, Thou shalt open my mouth, and my lips shall declare Thy praise. (1CL)
