CONFESSING OUR SINS (10)
From Psalm 51

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. O God, in your unfailing love:
have mercy on us.

We know our transgressions, and our sin is ever before us; against you only have we sinned and done what is evil in your sight. O God, in your unfailing love:
have mercy on us.

According to your great compassion blot out our transgressions, wash away all our iniquity and cleanse us from our sin. O God, in your unfailing love:
have mercy on us.

Cleanse us, and we shall be clean;
wash us,
and we shall be whiter than snow;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
