Psalms 51:5 - Compare All Versions

Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

For I was born a sinner— yes, from the moment my mother conceived me.

Indeed, I was guilty when I was born; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.

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

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.

You’re the One I’ve violated, and you’ve seen it all, seen the full extent of my evil. You have all the facts before you; whatever you decide about me is fair. I’ve been out of step with you for a long time, in the wrong since before I was born. What you’re after is truth from the inside out. Enter me, then; conceive a new, true life.

¶Behold, I was brought forth in guilt, And in sin my mother conceived me.

¶I was brought forth in [a state of] wickedness; In sin my mother conceived me [and from my beginning I, too, was sinful]. [John 3:6; Rom 5:12; Eph 2:3]

Look, I was guilty of sin from birth, a sinner the moment my mother conceived me.
