3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from unchastity;4 that each one of you know how to take a wife for himself in holiness and honor,5 not in the passion of lust like heathen who do not know God;

1 A Psalm of David. A Maskil.2 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.3 Blessed is the man to whom the LORD imputes no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.4 When I declared not my sin, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long.5 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. [Selah]6 I acknowledged my sin to thee, and I did not hide my iniquity; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD"; then thou didst forgive the guilt of my sin. [Selah]

2 Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy steadfast love; according to thy abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.3 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin!4 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.

7 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward being; therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.8 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.9 Fill me with joy and gladness; let the bones which thou hast broken rejoice.10 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.11 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me.12 Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy holy Spirit from me.
