O loving
and kind God, have mercy. Have pity upon me and take away the awful
stain of my transgressions. Oh, wash me, cleanse me from this guilt. Let
me be pure again. For I admit my shameful deed-it haunts me day and
night. It is against you and you alone I sinned and did this terrible
thing. You saw it all, and your sentence against me is just. Create in
me a new, clean heart, O God, filled with clean thoughts and right
desires. Don’t toss me aside, banished forever from your presence. Don’t
take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me again the joy of your
salvation, and make me willing to obey you.
(Psalm 51:1-12 TLB)
