4 Against thee, O my God, I sin'd, And did this evil in thy sight; And if I were therefore condemn'd, Yet were thy judgments just and right.
5 Thou knowest that in iniquity My shape and nature I received; As guilty and defiled by sin My sinful mother me conceived.
5 Thou know'st that in iniquity My shape and nature I receiv'd; As guilty and defil'd by sin My sinful mother me conceiv'd.
6 I know that which thou dost desire Is truth within the secret heart; And wisdom thou wilt make me know Even in the hidden inward part.
