The Prayers of Yahweh's People

Be gracious to me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness;According to the greatness of Your compassion blot out my transgressions.

Wash me thoroughly from my iniquityAnd cleanse me from my sin.

For I know my transgressions,And my sin is ever before me.

Against You, You only, I have sinnedAnd done what is evil in Your sight,So that You are justified when You speakAnd blameless when You judge.

-King David
