Psalms 51:2-11

²Wash me fully from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

³For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is continually before me.

⁴Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight; that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest.

⁵Behold, in iniquity was I brought forth, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

⁶Behold, thou wilt have truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom.

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

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

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

¹⁰Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

¹¹Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not the spirit of thy holiness from me.
