Psalm 51:2-4

Revised Standard Version

²Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin!

³For I know my transgressions,
    and my sin is ever before me.
⁴Against thee, thee only, have I sinned,
    and done that which is evil in thy sight,
so that thou art justified in thy sentence
    and blameless in thy judgment.
