Psalm 51:6–8

6 Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb;

you taught me wisdom in that secret place.

7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;

wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

8 Let me hear joy and gladness;

let the bones you have crushed rejoice.

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.

8 Let me hear joy and gladness;

let the bones that you have broken rejoice.

6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts:

And in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:

Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8 Make me to hear joy and gladness;

That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

6 But you desire honesty from the womb,

teaching me wisdom even there.

7 Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean;

wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

8 Oh, give me back my joy again;

you have broken me—

now let me rejoice.

6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,

And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.

7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;

Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8 Make me hear joy and gladness,

That the bones You have broken may rejoice.

6 You want me to be completely truthful,

so teach me wisdom.

7 Take away my sin, and I will be clean.

Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

8 Make me hear sounds of joy and gladness;

let the bones you crushed be happy again.

6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts;

And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom.

7 Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:

Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8 Make me to hear joy and gladness,

That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

6 Behold, thou wilt have truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom.

7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me to hear gladness and joy; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

6 Yet, you desire truth and sincerity. 

Deep down inside me you teach me wisdom. 

7 Purify me from sin with hyssop,and I will be clean.

Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. 

8 Let me hear ⸤sounds of⸥ joy and gladness. 

Let the bones that you have broken dance. 

6 Surely You desire integrity in the inner self,

and You teach me wisdom deep within.

7 Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean;

wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

8 Let me hear joy and gladness;

let the bones You have crushed rejoice.

6 You desire truth in the inward being;

therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.

7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;

wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8 Let me hear joy and gladness;

let the bones that you have crushed rejoice.

6 Behold, you delight in truth in the inward parts,

and in the hidden parts you make me to know wisdom.

7 Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean.

Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8 Make me hear joy and gladness;

let the bones you have crushed rejoice.

6 I know that you want truth to be in my heart.

You teach me wisdom deep down inside me.

7 Make me pure by sprinkling me with hyssop plant. Then I will be clean.

Wash me. Then I will be whiter than snow.

8 Let me hear you say, “Your sins are forgiven.”

That will bring me joy and gladness.

Let the body you have broken be glad.
