- Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin! - Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me. - The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.Next verse!With image
