Even if I were to wash myself with soap and clean my hands with lye,

我若用雪水洗身，用碱洁净我的手，

我若用雪水洗身，用碱洁净我的手掌，

我若用雪水洗身，用碱洁净我的手掌，

即使我用雪水净身，用碱水洗手，

我若用雪水洗净我的身，又用碱水洁净我的手，

我若用雪水洗身，用鹼潔淨我的手，

我若用雪水洗身，用鹼潔淨我的手掌，

我若用雪水洗身，用鹼潔淨我的手掌，

即使我用雪水淨身，用鹼水洗手，

我若用雪水洗淨我的身，又用鹼水潔淨我的手，

我若用雪水洗身，用鹼潔淨手掌，

我即以雪濯身、以鹼潔手、

即以雪水自洗、鹼水盥手。

我雖以雪水自濯、以鹼潔我手、

Even if I washed myself with soap and my hands with cleansing powder,

Suppose I clean myself with soap. Suppose I wash my hands with cleanser.

If I wash myself with snow and cleanse my hands with lye,

If I wash myself with snow, and cleanse my hands with lye,

If I washed myself with snow, And cleansed my hands with lye,

If I wash myself with snow water, And cleanse my hands with soap,

If I wash myself with snow water, And make my hands never so clean;

If I wash myself with snow, and cleanse my hands with lye,

If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;

If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands clean with lye,

If I wash myself with snow, and cleanse my hands with lye,

No amount of soap or lye can make you clean. I still see the stain of your guilt. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!

I wash my hands to declare my innocence. I come to your altar, O Lord,

If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth.

For they don’t understand God’s way of making people right with himself. Refusing to accept God’s way, they cling to their own way of getting right with God by trying to keep the law.

O Jerusalem, cleanse your heart that you may be saved. How long will you harbor your evil thoughts?

Wash yourselves and be clean! Get your sins out of my sight. Give up your evil ways.Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows.“ Come now, let’s settle this,” says the Lord.“ Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool.

If I have strayed from his pathway, or if my heart has lusted for what my eyes have seen, or if I am guilty of any other sin,

People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy.
