Psalm 51:2-4
EasyEnglish Bible

2 I have done bad things,
    so wash me to make me clean again.[a]
3 I know that I have not obeyed you.
    I cannot forget that I am guilty.
4 It is you that I have done bad things against,
    only you![b]
I have done things that are evil,
    as you know.
And so you are fair when you speak against me.
You are right when you say that I am guilty.

Footnotes

  1. 51:2 David knows that sin makes him guilty in front of God. It is like he is dirty, so he wants God to wash away the bad things. Then he will be clean.
  2. 51:4 The most important thing is that David did not obey God's laws. He did do bad things that also hurt other people, like Uriah. But David realizes that, more than anything else, it is God that he has turned against.
