2 Wash away all my eviland make me clean from my sin!
3 I recognize my faults;I am always conscious of my sins.
4 I have sinned against you — only against you —and done what you consider evil.So you are right in judging me;you are justified in condemning me.
5 I have been evil from the day I was born;from the time I was conceived, I have been sinful.
6 Sincerity and truth are what you require;fill my mind with your wisdom.
7 Remove my sin, and I will be clean;wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear the sounds of joy and gladness;and though you have crushed me and broken me,I will be happy once again.
