⁴ Against you, you only, have I sinned^(A)
    and done what is evil in your sight;^(B)
so you are right in your verdict
    and justified when you judge.^(C)
5 Surely I was sinful^(D) at birth,^(E)
    sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
⁶ Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb;
    you taught me wisdom^(F) in that secret place.^(G)

⁷ Cleanse^(H) me with hyssop,^(I) and I will be clean;
    wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.^(J)
