Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Thy lovingkindness; according to the multitude of Thy tender mercies,…

1. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Thy lovingkindness; according to the multitude of Thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.

2. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me

from my sin.

31
‘After Thy loving -kindness, Lord,

have mercy upon me:
For Thy compassion great, blot out
all my iniquity.

Me cleanse from sin, and thoroughly wash

from mine iniquity:
For my transgressions I confess;

my sin I ever see.’

—Scottish Psalter,
