6. Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You are just when You speak, and blameless when You judge.
7. Behold, I was born in iniquity and in sin when my mother conceived me.
8. Surely You desire truth in the inner being. Make me know wisdom inwardly.
9. Cleanse me with hyssop and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
10. Let me hear joy and gladness, so the bones You crushed may rejoice.
11. Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
12. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
13. Do not cast me from Your presence— take not Your Ruach ha-Kodesh from me.
14. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and sustain me with a willing spirit.
15. Then will I teach transgressors Your ways and sinners will return to You.
16. Deliver me from bloodguilt, O God— God of my salvation. Then my tongue will sing for joy of Your righteousness.
17. O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praise.
