4 (51:6) To thee, thee only, have I sinned, and what is evil in thy eyes have I done:in order that thou mightest be righteous when thou speakest, be justified when thou judgest.

5 (51:7) Behold, in iniquity was I brought forth; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

6 (51:8) Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: therefore do thou cause me to know wisdom in the recesses of the heart.

7 (51:9) Cleanse me from sin with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8 (51:10) Cause me to hear gladness and joy; that the bones which thou hast crushed may rejoice.

9 (51:11) Hide thy face from my sins, and all my iniquities do thou blot out.
