חַטֹּ֤אות נְעוּרַ֨י ׀ וּפְשָׁעַ֗י אַל־תִּ֫זְכֹּ֥ר כְּחַסְדְּךָ֥ זְכָר־לִי־אַ֑תָּה לְמַ֖עַן טוּבְךָ֣ יְהוָֽה׃
Huwag Mong alalahanin ang mga kasalanan ng aking kabataan at ang aking mga paghihimagsik; ayon sa Iyong kagandahang-loob ay alalahanin Mo ako, alang-alang sa Iyong kabutihan, O Walang-Hanggan.
