KJV ¹ Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

KJV ² Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

KJV ⁶ Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

KJV ⁷ Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

KJV ⁸ Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

KJV ⁹ Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

KJV ¹⁰ Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

KJV ¹¹ Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

KJV ¹⁵ O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

KJV ¹⁸ Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

KJV ¹⁹ Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
