2. (4) Wash me thoroughly from mine avon (iniquity), and cleanse me from my chattat (sin).
3. (5) For I acknowledge my peysha'im (transgressions, rebellions); and my chattat (sin) is ever before me.
4. (6) Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done the rah in Thy sight; that Thou mightest be found just when Thou speakest, and be blameless when Thou judgest.
5. (7) Surely, I was brought forth in avon; and in chet did immi conceive me [i.e., I was a sinner from conception].
6. (8) Surely Thou desirest emes in the inward parts; and in the inmost place Thou shalt make me to know chochmah.
7. (9) Purge me with ezov (hyssop), and I shall be tahor; wash me, and I shall be whiter than sheleg (snow).
8. (10) Make me to hear sasson and simchah; that the atzmot which Thou hast broken may rejoice.
9. (11) Hide Thy face from my chatta'im, and blot out all mine avonot.
10. (12) Create in me a lev tahor, O Elohim; and renew a ruach nekhon (steadfast spirit [i.e., regeneration Ezek 36:26; Yn 3:3,6]) within me.
