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.
