Psalms 51:5
Compare all
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions,
And my sin is always before me.
4 aAgainst You, You only, have I sinned,
And done this evil bin Your sight—
cThat You may be found just1 when You speak,
And blameless when You judge. 
5 aBehold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
And in sin my mother conceived me. 
6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.
7 aPurge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
Wash me, and I shall be bwhiter than snow. 
8 Make me hear joy and gladness,
That the bones You have broken amay rejoice. 
9 Hide Your face from my sins,
And blot out all my iniquities.
10 aCreate in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me. 
11 Do not cast me away from Your presence,
And do not take Your aHoly Spirit from me. 
12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
And uphold me by Your agenerous Spirit.
