New International Version (NIV)

5Surely I was sinful at birth,

sinful from the time my mother conceived me.

5¶Behold, I was brought forth in guilt,

And in sin my mother conceived me.

5¶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]

5Surely I was brought forth in iniquity;

I was sinful when my mother conceived me.

5Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity;

And in sin did my mother conceive me.

5Beholde, I was borne in iniquitie, and in sinne hath my mother conceiued me.

5Behold, I was born in iniquity.

My mother conceived me in sin.

5I know I’ve been a sinner ever since I was born.

I’ve been a sinner ever since my mother became pregnant with me.

5Yes, even from the day I was born

I have done bad things.

I have always been guilty of sin.

5Behold, I have been brought forth in iniquity, || And my mother conceives me in sin.
