The Miserere

³ Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy. ⁴ And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my iniquity.

⁵ Wash me yet more from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. ⁶ For I know my iniquity, and my sin is always before me.

⁷ To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee: that thou mayst be justified in thy words and mayst overcome when thou art judged.
