Psalm 51…
“Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your
lovingkindness; according to the multitude of Your
tender mercies, blot out my transgressions. Wash me
thoroughly from my iniquity. And cleanse me from my
sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is
always before me. Against You, You only, have I sinned,
and done this evil in Your sight that you may be found
just when You speak, and blameless when You judge…
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me,
and I shall be whiter than snow… Create in me a clean
heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit with me.”
