so that Thou art justified in Thy sentence

and blameless in Thy judgment.

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,

and in sins did my mother conceive me.

Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward being;

therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;

wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Fill me with joy and gladness;

let the bones which Thou hast broken rejoice.
