Bible in Basic English
"Truly, I was formed in evil, and in sin did my mother give me birth."
— Psalms 51:5, Bible in Basic English
“Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.”
“Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity; And in sin did my mother conceive me. ”
“Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity. In sin my mother conceived me.”
“Look, I was guilty of sin from birth, a sinner the moment my mother conceived me.”
“Thou hast loved malice more than goodness: and iniquity rather than to speak righteousness.”
Let all my wrongdoing be washed away, and make me clean from evil.
For I am conscious of my error; my sin is ever before me.
Against you, you only, have I done wrong, working that which is evil in your eyes; so that your words may be seen to be right, and you may be clear when you are judging.
Truly, I was formed in evil, and in sin did my mother give me birth.
Your desire is for what is true in the inner parts: in the secrets of my soul you will give me knowledge of wisdom.
Make me free from sin with hyssop: let me be washed whiter than snow.
Make me full of joy and rapture; so that the bones which have been broken may be glad.
