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.
