Psalms 51:4-10

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.

⁸Make me full of joy and rapture; so that the bones which have been broken may be glad.

⁹Let your face be turned from my wrongdoing, and take away all my sins.

¹⁰Make a clean heart in me, O God; give me a right spirit again.
