¹ Have mercy on me, O God,
    because of your unfailing love.
Because of your great compassion,
    blot out the stain of my sins.
² Wash me clean from my guilt.
    Purify me from my sin.
³ For I recognize my rebellion;
    it haunts me day and night.

⁷ Purify me from my sins,^[a] and I will be clean;
    wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
