If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;

Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:

Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

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

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

Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.

For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD.

Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
