5 Surely I was sinful at birth,sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
6 Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb;you taught me wisdom in that secret place.
7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear joy and gladness;let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
9 Hide your face from my sinsand blot out all my iniquity.
10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me from your presenceor take your Holy Spirit from me.
