³ For I acknowledge my transgressions,
And my sin is always before me.
^4 (A)Against You, You only, have I sinned,
And done this evil ^(B)in Your sight—
^(C)That You may be found just ^[a]when You speak,
And blameless when You judge.

¹² Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
And uphold me by Your ^(A)generous Spirit.
¹³ Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,
And sinners shall be converted to You.

¹⁸ Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion;
Build the walls of Jerusalem.
¹⁹ Then You shall be pleased with ^(A)the sacrifices of righteousness,
With burnt offering and whole burnt offering;
Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar.
