1. Have Mercy upon me, O God,
According to Your loving-kindness.
Have mercy upon me, O God,
According to the greatness of your mercy.
|
5. Create in me a clean heart, O
God,
And renew a steadfast spirit in me.
Do not cast me away from Your presence,
Or take Your Holy Spirit from me.
|
2. Cover my sin with the blood,
Wash me and cleanse me from my sin.
For I know against You have I sinned,
You are just when You speak,
and blameless when You judge. |
6. Restore me to the joy of your
salvation,
And uphold me by your mighty Spirit.
Deliver me from my sins, O God,
Oh God, the God of my salvation. |
3. You desire truth within my
heart,
And within my heart You will make me wise.
Purge me and I shall be clean,
Wash me, I shall be whiter than snow. |
7. Then my tongue shall sing of
Your righteousness,
Oh Lord, open my lips, I will praise Your name.
You do not desire sacrifice,
Or Lord, I surely would give it. |
4. Make me to hear joy and
gladness,
That the bones You have broken may rejoice.
Hide Your face from my sins,
And blot out all of my inequities. |
8. The sacrifices of God are a
broken spirit,
A broken and contrite heart.
These, O God, You will not despise,
These, O God, You will not despise,
These, O God, You will not despise. |
