much.

[A Psalm] of David, Maschil.
Blessed [is he whose] transgression [is] forgiven, [whose] sin [is] covered. Blessed [is] the
man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit [there is] no guile.
When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. For day and night
thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my
transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. For this shall
every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods
of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. Thou [art] my hiding place; thou shalt
preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine
eye. I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of
thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse
me from my sin.
Psalms 69:5-6
O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee. Let not them that wait
on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded
for my sake, O God of Israel.
