3 I know about my sins,and I cannot forgetthe burden of my guilt.
4 You are really the oneI have sinned against;I have disobeyed youand have done wrong.So it is right and fair for youto correct and punish me.
5 I have sinned and done wrongsince the day I was born.
6 But you want complete honesty,so teach me true wisdom.
7 Wash me with hyssopuntil I am cleanand whiter than snow.
8 Let me be happy and joyful!You crushed my bones,now let them celebrate.
9 Turn your eyes from my sinand cover my guilt.
