Psalms 51:3-8

³For well I know my transgressions, my sin is ever before me.

⁴Against you, only you, have I sinned, and done that which is wrong in your sight: you therefore are just when you speak, and clear when you utter judgment.

⁵See! In guilt was I brought to the birth, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

⁶It's the innermost truth you desire, give me therefore true wisdom of heart.

⁷Purge me clean with hyssop, wash me whiter than snow.

⁸Fill me with joy and gladness, let the bones you have broken rejoice.
