31:10For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

38:2For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.

38:3There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.

38:4For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

38:5My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.

38:6I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

51:1Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

51:2Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

51:3For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

51:4Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

51:7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

51:8Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

51:9Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

51:10Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

51:11Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

51:12Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

51:13Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

51:14Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

51:15O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

51:16For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.

51:17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
