Psalm 51

³ For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.

⁴ Against You, You only, have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You may be proved right when You speak and blameless when You judge.

⁵ Surely I was brought forth in iniquity; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.

⁶ Surely You desire truth in the inmost being; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

⁷ Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
