David's Model Prayer of Repentance
Have mercy upon me, O God,
![](/tp.gif)
According to Your lovingkindness;
![](/tp.gif)
According to the multitude of Your tender mercies,
![](/tp.gif)
Blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
![](/tp.gif)
And cleanse me from my sin.
For I acknowledge my transgressions,
![](/tp.gif)
And my sin is always before me.
Against You, You only, have I sinned,
![](/tp.gif)
And done this evil in Your sight ---
![](/tp.gif)
That You may be found just when You speak,
![](/tp.gif)
And blameless when You judge.
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
![](/tp.gif)
And in sin my mother conceived me.
Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
![](/tp.gif)
And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
![](/tp.gif)
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Make me hear joy and gladness,
![](/tp.gif)
That the bones You have broken may rejoice.
Hide Your face from my sins,
![](/tp.gif)
And blot out all my iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
![](/tp.gif)
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from Your presence,
![](/tp.gif)
And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
![](/tp.gif)
And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,
![](/tp.gif)
And sinners shall be converted to You.
Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
![](/tp.gif)
The God of my salvation,
![](/tp.gif)
And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.
O Lord, open my lips,
![](/tp.gif)
And my mouth shall show forth Your praise.
For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it;
![](/tp.gif)
You do not delight in burnt offering.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
![](/tp.gif)
A broken and a contrite heart ---
![](/tp.gif)
These, O God, You will not despise.
Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion;
![](/tp.gif)
Build the walls of Jerusalem.
Then You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness,
![](/tp.gif)
With burnt offering and whole burnt offering;
![](/tp.gif)
Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar.
