Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 51 of Psalms. Psalm 51 is a penitential prayer centered on confession of sin and the need for inner renewal. The psalmist does not attempt to justify himself through external circumstances, but acknowledges his guilt before God and asks for cleansing, a pure heart, and a steadfast spirit. Inner restoration has a communal dimension: one who again experiences salvation can teach others. The conclusion connects individual restoration with the well-being of Zion and with sacrifices offered rightly.

Denn ich erkenne meine Missetat, und meine Sünde ist immer vor mir.
He aquí, en maldad he sido formado, Y en pecado me concibió mi madre.
En culpa fui dado a luz y en pecado me concibió mi madre.
Voici, je suis né dans l'iniquité, Et ma mère m'a conçu dans le péché.
Ecco, io sono stato formato in iniquità; E la madre mia mi ha conceputo in peccato.
Eis que em iniqüidade fui formado, e em pecado me concebeu minha mãe.
看哪,我是在罪孽裏生的, 在我母親懷胎的時候就有了罪。
