Psalms 51:5-9

⁵(51-7) Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

⁶(51-8) Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts; make me, therefore, to know wisdom in mine inmost heart.

⁷(51-9) Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

⁸(51-10) Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast crushed may rejoice.

⁹(51-11) Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
