2Wash me clean of my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.
3For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.
4Against You, You only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in Your sight,
so that You may be proved right when You speak
and blameless when You judge.
5Surely I was brought forth in iniquity;
I was sinful when my mother conceived me.
— Psalm 51:2-5
