Because I know my wrongdoings,
    my sin is always right in front of me.
I’ve sinned against you—you alone.
    I’ve committed evil in your sight.

    from the moment my mother conceived me.

    and justified when you judge.(D)
Surely I was sinful(E) at birth,(F)
    sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
