Psalms 51:5-6 in English

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

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

⁵ Thou hast loved wickedness more than goodness; unrighteousness better than to speak righteousness. Pause.

⁶ Thou hast loved all words of destruction, and a deceitful tongue.

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

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

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

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

⁵ Therefore may God destroy you for ever, may he pluck you up and utterly remove you from your dwelling, and your root from the land of the living. Pause.

⁶ And the righteous shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say,

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

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

⁵ I have been a sinner since the day that I was born; truly, I have been like that since my mother conceived me.

⁶ What you desire is that I desire what is true in order that you can teach me how to act wisely.

⁵ Therefore may God destroy you for ever, may he pluck you up and utterly remove you from your dwelling, and your root from the land of the living. Pause.
