Psalm 51
A Contrite Sinner’s Prayer for Pardon.
3For I know my transgressions; And my sin is ever before me.
4Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, And done that which is evil in thy sight; That thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, And be clear when thou judgest.
5Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity; And in sin did my mother conceive me.
Psalms 51:3-5 (ASV)
