Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin.
Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.
Proverbs
