Psalm 51:1,2,4,11,12
Psalm of David
“Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.
Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge.
Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.”
