¹ Have mercy on me, O God,
    according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy,
    blot out my transgressions.^(A)

² Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
    and cleanse me from my sin.^(A)

⁸ You have set our iniquities before you,
    our secret sins in the light of your countenance.^(A)

⁶ Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
    it is so high that I cannot attain it.^(A)
