Psalm 51:5-7
EasyEnglish Bible

5 Yes, even from the day I was born
    I have done bad things.
I have always been guilty of sin.
6 But you want me to be completely good and honest.
You want to teach me to be wise
    in the way that I live.
7 Splash water over me with a hyssop plant,
    and I will be really clean.[a]
Wash me and I will be whiter than snow.[b]
