Psalm 51:5-7

Revised Standard Version

⁵Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
and in sin did my mother conceive me.

⁶Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward being;
therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.
⁷Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
