Psalms 51:4-9

⁴Against Thee, Thee only, I have sinned, And done the evil thing in Thine eyes, So that Thou art righteous in Thy words, Thou art pure in Thy judging.

⁵Lo, in iniquity I have been brought forth, And in sin doth my mother conceive me.

⁶Lo, truth Thou hast desired in the inward parts, And in the hidden part Wisdom Thou causest me to know.

⁷Thou cleansest me with hyssop and I am clean, Washest me, and than snow I am whiter.

⁸Thou causest me to hear joy and gladness, Thou makest joyful bones Thou hast bruised.

⁹Hide Thy face from my sin. And all mine iniquities blot out.
