5. (7) Surely, I was brought forth in avon; and in chet did immi conceive me [i.e., I was a sinner from conception].
6. (8) Surely Thou desirest emes in the inward parts; and in the inmost place Thou shalt make me to know chochmah.
7. (9) Purge me with ezov (hyssop), and I shall be tahor; wash me, and I shall be whiter than sheleg (snow).
8. (10) Make me to hear sasson and simchah; that the atzmot which Thou hast broken may rejoice.
9. (11) Hide Thy face from my chatta'im, and blot out all mine avonot.
10. (12) Create in me a lev tahor, O Elohim; and renew a ruach nekhon (steadfast spirit [i.e., regeneration Ezek 36:26; Yn 3:3,6]) within me.
11. (13) Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy Ruach Hakodesh from me.
12. (14) Restore unto me the sasson of Thy salvation; and uphold me with a ruach nedivah (a willing spirit; see Jer 31:31-34).
13. (15) Then will I teach poshe'im (transgressors) Thy drakhim; and chatta'im (sinners) shall be converted [have a spiritual turnaround; see Isa 6:10] unto Thee.
