Psalm 51:3-6
The Message

51 1-3 Generous in love—God, give grace!
    Huge in mercy—wipe out my bad record.
Scrub away my guilt,
    soak out my sins in your laundry.
I know how bad I’ve been;
    my sins are staring me down.

4-6 You’re the One I’ve violated, and you’ve seen
    it all, seen the full extent of my evil.
You have all the facts before you;
    whatever you decide about me is fair.
I’ve been out of step with you for a long time,
    in the wrong since before I was born.
What you’re after is truth from the inside out.
    Enter me, then; conceive a new, true life.

Psalm 51:3-5
New International Version

3 For I know my transgressions,
    and my sin is always before me.(A)
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned(B)
    and done what is evil in your sight;(C)
so you are right in your verdict
    and justified when you judge.(D)
5 Surely I was sinful(E) at birth,(F)
    sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
