4 Against you, only you, I have sinned

and have done this evil* in your eyes,

so that you are correct when you speak,

you are blameless when you judge.

5 Behold, in iniquity I was born,

and in sin my mother conceived me.

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.

9 Hide your face from my sins,

and all my iniquities blot out.
