Have mercy on me, O God,
because of your unfailing love.
Because of your great compassion,
blot out the stain of my sins.
 Wash me clean from my guilt.
Purify me from my sin.
 For I recognize my rebellion;
it haunts me day and night.
 Against you, and you alone, have I sinned;
I have done what is evil in your sight.
You will be proved right in what you say,
and your judgment against me is just.
 For I was born a sinner—
yes, from the moment my mother conceived me.
 But you desire honesty from the womb,
teaching me wisdom even there.

-Psalms 51:1-6 NLT
