  1. Hebrews 13:15 Lit. confessing

(A)Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
And cleanse me from my sin.

For I acknowledge my transgressions,
And my sin is always before me.
(B)Against You, You only, have I sinned,
And done this evil (C)in Your sight—
(D)That You may be found just [a]when You speak,
And blameless when You judge.

(E)Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
And in sin my mother conceived me.
Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.

(F)Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
Wash me, and I shall be (G)whiter than snow.
Make me hear joy and gladness,
That the bones You have broken (H)may rejoice.
Hide Your face from my sins,
And blot out all my iniquities.

10 (I)Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
