Psalm 51:3-4

3 For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.

and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you are justified in your sentence
and blameless when you pass judgment.
Psalm 51:5-6

a sinner when my mother conceived me.
6 You desire truth in the inward being;[a]
therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.
