5. Behold, I was brought forth in [a state of] iniquity; my mother was sinful who conceived me [and I too am sinful]. [John 3:6; Rom. 5:12; Eph. 2:3.]
6. Behold, You desire truth in the inner being; make me therefore to know wisdom in my inmost heart.
7. Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean [ceremonially]; wash me, and I shall [in reality] be whiter than snow.
8. Make me to hear joy and gladness and be satisfied; let the bones which You have broken rejoice.
