3 For I acknowledge my transgressions,And my sin is always before me.
4 Against You, You only, have I sinned,And done this evil in Your sight—That You may be found just when You speak,And blameless when You judge.
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,And in sin my mother conceived me.
6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me hear joy and gladness,That the bones You have broken may rejoice.
9 Hide Your face from my sins,And blot out all my iniquities.
