Read in context

Psalms 51:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 Wash me clean of my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.

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

4 Against You, You only, have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You may be proved right when You speak and blameless when You judge.

5 Surely I was brought forth in iniquity; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.

6 Surely You desire truth in the inmost being; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
