Psalm 51:2-4

The Voice

²Thoroughly wash me, inside and out, of all my crooked deeds.
Cleanse me from my sins.

³For I am fully aware of all I have done wrong,
    and my guilt is there, staring me in the face.
⁴It was against You, only You, that I sinned,
    for I have done what You say is wrong, right before Your eyes.
So when You speak, You are in the right.
    When You judge, Your judgments are pure and true.^[a]
