Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Verse 7 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.

Siehe, ich bin in sündlichem Wesen geboren, und meine Mutter hat mich in Sünden empfangen.
Purifícame con hisopo, y será limpio: Lávame, y seré emblanquecido más que la nieve.
Purifícame con hisopo y quedaré limpio; lávame y quedaré más blanco que la nieve.
Purifie-moi avec l'hysope, et je serai pur; Lave-moi, et je serai plus blanc que la neige.
Purgami con isopo, e sarò netto; Lavami, e sarò più bianco che neve.
Purifica-me com hissope, e ficarei puro; lava-me, e ficarei mais branco do que a neve.
求你用牛膝草潔淨我,我就乾淨; 求你洗滌我,我就比雪更白。
