Psalm 51:3-7 English Standard Version (ESV)

3. For I know my transgressions,and my sin is ever before me.

4. Against you, you only, have I sinnedand done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your wordsand blameless in your judgment.

5. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,and in sin did my mother conceive me.

6. Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being,and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.

7. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
