Psalms 51:6,17
Psalms 51:4-6 The Message (MSG)
You’re the One I’ve violated, and you’ve seen it all, seen the full extent of my evil. You have all the facts before you; whatever you decide about me is fair. I’ve been out of step with you for a long time, in the wrong since before I was born. What you’re after is truth from the inside out. Enter me, then; conceive a new, true life.
Psalms 51:16-17 The Message (MSG)
