3For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.
4Against you, you only, I have sinned and done what is evil in your sight; you are right when you speak; you are correct when you judge.
5See, I was born in iniquity; as soon as my mother conceived me, I was in sin.
6See, you desire trustworthiness in my inner self; and you teach me wisdom in the secret place within.
7Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
