Psalm 51:1-2, 7-9, To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

1Have mercy on me, O God,
     according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
     blot out my transgressions.
2Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
     and cleanse me from my sin!

7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones that you have broken rejoice.
9Hide your face from my sins,
and blot out all my iniquities.
