A Prayer for Forgiveness

Psalm 51 (New Century Version)

1 God, be merciful to me because you are loving. Because you are always ready to be merciful, wipe out all of my wrongs.
2 Wash away all my guilt and make me clean again.
3 I know about my wrongs, and I can't forget my sin.
4 You are the only one I have sinned against; I have done what you say is wrong. You are right when you speak and fair when you judge.

6 You want me to be completely truthful, so teach me wisdom.
7 Take away my sin, and I will be clean. Wash me and I will be whiter than snow.

9 Turn your face from my sins and wipe out all my guilt.
10 Create in me a pure heart, God, and make my spirit right again.
11 Do not send me away from you or take your Holy Spirit away from me.
12 Give me back the joy of your salvation. Keep me strong by giving me a willing spirit.

15 Lord let me speak so I may praise you.
17 The sacrifice God wants is a broken spirit. God you will not reject a heart that is broken and sorry for sin.

In your Son Jesus name. Amen.
