my sin.
51:3
For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin [is] ever
before me.
51:4

evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou
speakest, [and] be clear when thou judgest.
51:5

conceive me.
51:6
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the
hidden [part] thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
51:7

shall be whiter than snow.

iniquities.

spirit from me.

[with thy] free spirit.

shall be converted unto thee.

thy praise.
51:16

walls of Jerusalem.
51:19
Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of
righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering:
then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
