Psalms 51:3-6

3For I 1know my wrongdoings, And my sin is constantly before me.42Against You, You only, I have sinned And done what is 3evil in Your sight, So that 4You 5are justified 6when You speak And 7blameless when You judge.

5Behold, I was 8brought forth in guilt, And in sin my mother conceived me.6Behold, You desire 9truth in the 10innermost being, And in secret You will 11make wisdom known to me.
