Piedad, O santo Dios, piedad

Representative Text

1 ¡Piedad, oh santo Dios, piedad!
Piedad te implora el corazón.
¡Oh, lávame de mi maldad!
y dame gozo, paz, perdón.

2 Mis rebeliones graves son;
son todas sólo contra ti;
mas crea un nuevo corazón
y un nuevo espíritu en mí.

3 No quieres sacrificio más
que un humillado corazón;
mi ofrenda no despreciarás,
ya que eres todo compasión.

4 Oh, sálvame con tu poder,
pues mi esperanza es sólo en ti.
Contrito, aguardo tu querer;
sé compasivo hacia mí.
