Psalms 51:6 Context
4Against thee, thee onely haue I sinned, and done this euill in thy sight: that thou mightest bee iustified when thou speakest, and be cleare when thou iudgest. 5Behold, I was shapen in iniquitie: and in sinne did my mother conceiue me. 6Behold, thou desirest trueth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisedome. 7Purge me with hyssope, and I shalbe cleane: wash me, and I shall be whiter then snow. 8Make mee to heare ioy and gladnesse: that the bones which thou hast broken, may reioyce.

Wesley's Notes for Psalms 51:6
51:6 Truth - Uprightness of heart; and this may be added; as an aggravation of the sinfulness of original corruption, because it is contrary to the holy nature and will of God, which requires rectitude of heart: and, as an aggravation of his actual sin, that it was committed against that knowledge, which God had wrote in his heart.
