The Prayer That Holds Nothing Back.

לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.

׳הַרְבֵּה׳ ״הֶ֭רֶב״ כַּבְּסֵ֣נִי מֵעֲוֺנִ֑י וּֽמֵחַטָּאתִ֥י טַהֲרֵֽנִי׃

[2] Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin!

כִּֽי־פְ֭שָׁעַי אֲנִ֣י אֵדָ֑ע וְחַטָּאתִ֖י נֶגְדִּ֣י תָמִֽיד׃

[3] For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.

לְךָ֤ לְבַדְּךָ֨׀ חָטָאתִי֮ וְהָרַ֥ע בְּעֵינֶ֗יךָ עָ֫שִׂ֥יתִי לְ֭מַעַן תִּצְדַּ֥ק בְּדָבְרֶ֗ךָ תִּזְכֶּ֥ה בְשָׁפְטֶֽךָ׃

[4] Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment.

הֵן־בְּעָו֥וֹן חוֹלָ֑לְתִּי וּ֝בְחֵ֗טְא יֶֽחֱמַ֥תְנִי אִמִּֽי׃

[5] Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
