O God, you will not despise
Your near to those who have broken heart
And saves us who are crushed in spirit
My tongue shall sing loud of your blamelessness
To have mercy upon me, O Lord
According to your loving kindness
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity
And cleanse from my sin against you
Hide your face from my depravity
And blot out all my vices
Do not look at my appearance or physical stature
For you don’t see as man realizes.
You have proved right when you speak
And justified when you judge
But you desire the truth in the inward parts of me
And that you will make me know wisdom
Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow
Make me hear your joy and gladness
That the blood you have affected may rejoice
Cast me not way from your presence, O God
And renew your holy life in me
