2Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin!
3For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is ever before me.
4Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, And in thy sight have I done evil; So that thou art just in thy sentence, And righteous in thy judgment.
5Behold! I was born in iniquity, And in sin did my mother conceive me.
6Behold! thou desirest truth in the heart; So teach me wisdom in my inmost soul!
7Purge me with hyssop, until I be clean; Wash me, until I be whiter than snow!
