3For I am conscious of my error; my sin is ever before me.
4Against you, you only, have I done wrong, working that which is evil in your eyes; so that your words may be seen to be right, and you may be clear when you are judging.
5Truly, I was formed in evil, and in sin did my mother give me birth.
6Your desire is for what is true in the inner parts: in the secrets of my soul you will give me knowledge of wisdom.
7Make me free from sin with hyssop: let me be washed whiter than snow.
