Psalms 51:4-9

⁴Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, And done this evil in thy sight: That thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, And be clear when thou judgest.

⁵Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; And in sin did my mother conceive me.

⁶Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: And in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

⁷Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

⁸Make me to hear joy and gladness; That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

⁹Hide thy face from my sins, And blot out all mine iniquities.
