NSB(i)
2 Wash me thoroughly from my perversity (iniquity) (guilt), and cleanse me from my sin.
3 I admit my transgressions. My sin is always in front of me.
4 I have sinned against you, especially you. I have done what you consider evil in your sight. So you hand down justice when you speak, and you are blameless when you judge.
5 Indeed, I was born in perversity (mischief) (evil). I was a sinner when my mother conceived me.
6 Yet, you desire truth from the secret person within me. Deep down inside me teach me wisdom.
7 Purify me from sin with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Make me hear sounds of joy and gladness. Let the bones that you have broken rejoice.
9 Hide your face (turn away) from my sins, and wipe out (erase) all that I have done wrong.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast (dependable) spirit within me.
