Psalm 51:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴Against you, you alone, have I sinned,
    and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you are justified in your sentence
    and blameless when you pass judgment.
⁵Indeed, I was born guilty,
    a sinner when my mother conceived me.

⁶You desire truth in the inward being;^[a]
therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.
