Psalms 51:3-11

³I say that because I know the ways that I have disobeyed you; I cannot forget them.

⁴You, you only, are the one that I have really sinned against, and you have seen the evil things that I have done. When you say that I am guilty, you are right/correct, and when you judge me, you justly say that I deserve to be punished.

⁵I have been a sinner since the day that I was born; truly, I have been like that since my mother conceived me.

⁶What you desire is that I desire what is true in order that you can teach me how to act wisely.

⁷Purify me from the guilt of my sins, and after that happens, I will be clean in my inner being; cleanse me, and then in my inner being I will be ◄whiter than snow/very clean►.

⁸Allow/Cause me to be joyful DOU again; you have ◄crushed my spirit/completely discouraged me► MTY; but now let me rejoice again.

⁹Do not continue to look at the sins IDM that I have committed; erase the record of the evil things that I have done.

¹⁰O God, cause my inner being to be pure. Put new thoughts within me and make me faithful again.

¹¹Do not send me away from you because of my sin, and do not take your Holy Spirit from me.
