6. To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee: that thou mayst be justified in thy words and mayst overcome when thou art judged.
7. For behold I was conceived in iniquities; and in sins did my mother conceive me.
8. For behold thou hast loved truth: the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me.
9. Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
10. To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.
11. Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
12. Create a clean heart in me, O God: and renew a right spirit within my bowels.
13. Cast me not away from thy face; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
