4 Against thee, against thee only, have I sinned and done this evil in thy sight that thou be declared just in thy word and pure in thy judgment.

5 Behold, the pain of my iniquity has caused me to writhe; my mother conceived me so that sin might be removed from me.

6 Behold, thou dost desire truth in the inward parts, and in the secret things thou hast made me to know wisdom.

7 Remove the sin in 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.

9 Hide thy face from my sins and eradicate all my iniquities.
