I am weary with my moaning; every night I flood my bed with tears; I drench my couch with my weeping.
I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.
I confess my iniquity; I am sorry for my sin.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin!
For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
O God, you know my folly; the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you.
For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.
He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities.
When I think on my ways, I turn my feet to your testimonies;
If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?
But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared.
Enter not into judgment with your servant, for no one living is righteous before you.
The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
For your name’s sake, O Lord, pardon my guilt, for it is great.
For my iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
For evils have encompassed me beyond number; my iniquities have overtaken me, and I cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my head; my heart fails me.
Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me! O Lord, make haste to help me!
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
My mouth will tell of your righteous acts, of your deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is past my knowledge.
When my soul was embittered, when I was pricked in heart, I was brutish and ignorant; I was like a beast toward you.
Preserve my life, for I am godly; save your servant, who trusts in you—you are my God.
Be gracious to me, O Lord, for to you do I cry all the day.
Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord! O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy!
O Israel, hope in the Lord! For with the Lord there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption.
Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God! Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground!
The Lord upholds all who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down.
