Psalms 51:5-7

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

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

⁷Purify me from the guilt of my sins, and after that happens, I will be clean in my inner being; cleanse me, and then in my inner being I will be ◄whiter than snow/very clean►.
