4 Against thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight:
that thou mightest be justified in thy saying, and clear when thou
art judged.
5 Behold, I was shapen in wickedness: and in sin hath my mother
conceived me.
6 But lo, thou requirest truth in the inward parts: and shalt make
me to understand wisdom secretly.
7 Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: thou shalt
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness: that the bones which
thou hast broken may rejoice.
