Psalm 51:1–7
according to your faithful love;
according to your abundant compassion,
blot out my rebellion.z
2 Completely wash away my guilt
and cleanse me from my sin.aa
3 For I am conscious of my rebellion,
and my sin is always before me.ab
4 Against you—you alone—I have sinned
and done this evil in your sight.ac
So you are right when you pass sentence;
you are blameless when you judge.ad
5 Indeed, I was guilty when I was born;
I was sinful when my mother conceived me.ae
6 Surely you desire integrity in the inner self,
and you teach me wisdom deep within.af
7 Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.ag
