1  ^wHave mercy on me,¹ O God,

according to your steadfast love;

according to your ^xabundant mercy

^yblot out my transgressions.

2  ^zWash me thoroughly from my iniquity,

and ^acleanse me from my sin!

3  ^bFor I know my transgressions,

and my sin is ever before me.

10  ^mCreate in me a ⁿclean heart, O God,

and ^orenew a right¹ spirit within me.

11  ^pCast me not away from your presence,

and take not ^qyour Holy Spirit from me.

12  Restore to me the joy of your salvation,

and uphold me with a willing spirit.

17  The sacrifices of God are ^xa broken spirit;

a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
