4 I’ve sinned against you—you alone.I’ve committed evil in your sight.That’s why you are justified when you render your verdict,completely correct when you issue your judgment.
5 Yes, I was born in guilt, in sin,from the moment my mother conceived me.
6 And yes, you want truth in the most hidden places;you teach me wisdom in the most secret space.
7 Purify me with hyssop and I will be clean;wash me and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear joy and celebration again;let the bones you crushed rejoice once more.
9 Hide your face from my sins;wipe away all my guilty deeds!
10 Create a clean heart for me, God;put a new, faithful spirit deep inside me!
