³ I recognize my faults;
    I am always conscious of my sins.
^4 (A)I have sinned against you—only against you—
    and done what you consider evil.
So you are right in judging me;
    you are justified in condemning me.

¹⁴ Spare my life, O God, and save me,^[a]
    and I will gladly proclaim your righteousness.
¹⁵ Help me to speak, Lord,
    and I will praise you.
