Psalms 51:1-5

Be gracious to me, God, according to Your faithfulness; According to the greatness of Your compassion, wipe out my wrongdoings.

Wash me thoroughly from my guilt And cleanse me from my sin.

For I know my wrongdoings, And my sin is constantly before me.

Against You, You only, I have sinned And done what is evil in Your sight, So that You are justified when You speak And blameless when You judge.

Behold, I was brought forth in guilt, And in sin my mother conceived me.
