Psalm 51:3-10

Tree of Life Version

³ Be gracious to me, O God,
according to Your mercy.
According to Your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
⁴ Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.
⁵ For I know my transgressions
and my sin is ever before me.
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.
