3. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
4. Against you, you only, have I sinned, and done this evil in your sight: that you might be justified when you speak, and be blameless when you judge.
5. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6. Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part you shall make me to know wisdom.
7. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
