O God, have mercy on us.
Blot out our transgressions and cleanse us from our sins. According to Your steadfast love and abundant mercy, wash us from our iniquities.
O God, have mercy on us.
We know our transgressions and our sins are before us. Against You alone have we sinned.
O God, have mercy on us.
Instill wisdom and truth into our hearts and inward beings. Purge us, cleanse us, and wash us, so our crushed bones may rejoice, and we may hear joy and gladness.
O God, have mercy on us.
Place new and right spirits within us, and sustain in us willing spirits. Do not cast us from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from us.
In the name of the One who creates clean hearts, we pray.
Amen.
