4 Against theeagainst thee alone, have I sinned, And, wickednessin thine eyes, have I done,That thou mayest, Be justified when thou speakest,Be clear when thou judgest.

5 Lo! in iniquity, was I brought forth, And, in sin, did my mother conceive me.

6 Lo! faithfulness, hast thou desired in the inward parts, Yea, in the hidden part, wilt thou cause me to know, wisdom.

7 Wilt thou cleanse me from sin with hyssop, That I may be pure? Wilt thou wash me, That I may be whiter, than snow?

8 Wilt thou cause me to hear joy and gladness? The bones thou hast crushed would exult.

9 Hide thy face from my sins,And, all mine iniquities, blot out;
