6 To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee:
ut iustus inveniáris in senténtia tua * et æquus in iudício tuo.
that thou mayst be justified in thy words, and mayst overcome when thou art judged.
Ecce enim in iniquitáte generátus sum, * et in peccáto concépit me mater mea.
For behold I was conceived in iniquities; and in sins did my mother conceive me.
Ecce enim veritátem in corde dilexísti * et in occúlto sapiéntiam manifestásti mihi.
