Psalm 51:6-8
EasyEnglish Bible
6 But you want me to be completely good and honest.
You want to teach me to be wise
in the way that I live.
7 Splash water over me with a hyssop plant,
and I will be really clean.[a]
Wash me and I will be whiter than snow.[b]
8 Please forgive me so that I can be happy.
Then my whole body will feel well again.
