1 God, please be gracious to me, because of your trustworthy love, because of your infinite kindness51:1. The word used here, often translated "compassion" is related to intense feelings of love and pity. It is related to the Hebrew word for "womb." please wipe away my sins.
2 Wash away all my guilt; cleanse me from my sin.
3 I admit my rebellion; my sin always stares me in my face.
4 I have sinned against you, you alone. I have done evil in your sight. So you are right in what you say, and fair when you judge.
10 Create a pure mind in me, God, and make me trustworthy again.
