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.

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

⁹ Hide your face from my sins^(A)
    and blot out^(B) all my iniquity.

¹⁴ Deliver me^(A) from the guilt of bloodshed,^(B) O God,
    you who are God my Savior,^(C)
    and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.^(D)

⁵ Then I acknowledged my sin to you
    and did not cover up my iniquity.^(A)
I said, “I will confess^(B)
    my transgressions^(C) to the Lord.”
And you forgave
    the guilt of my sin.^(D)

⁶ Therefore let all the faithful pray to you
    while you may be found;^(E)
surely the rising^(F) of the mighty waters^(G)
    will not reach them.^(H)
