Psalms 51:2-10
2
Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.
3
For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.
4
Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you are proved right when you speak
and justified when you judge.
5
Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
6
Surely you desire truth in the inner parts;
you teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
7
Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8
Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
9
Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.
10
Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
