2When Nathan the prophet came to him after he had sinned with Bethsabee.
3Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy. And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my iniquity.
4Wash me yet more from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
5For I know my iniquity, and my sin is always before me.
6To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee: that thou mayst be justified in thy words and mayst overcome when thou art judged.
7For behold I was conceived in iniquities; and in sins did my mother conceive me.
