5 I was born to do wrong, a sinner before I left my mother’s womb.
6 You want me to be completely loyal, so put true wisdom deep inside of me.
7 Remove my sin and make me pure. Wash me until I am whiter than snow!
8 Let me hear sounds of joy and happiness again. Let the bones you crushed be happy again.
9 Don’t look at my sins. Erase them all.
10 God, create a pure heart in me, and make my spirit strong again.
11 Don’t push me away or take your Holy Spirit from me.
