Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. | Have mercy on me, O God, in accord with your kindness; in your abundant compassion wipe away my offenses. Wash me completely from my guilt, and cleanse me from my sin. |
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me. | Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a resolute spirit within me. |

The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. | My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a contrite and humble heart, O God, you will not spurn. |
