I am black, but comely.

BEHOLD, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.--Thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.

I am a sinful man, O Lord.--Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair.

I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.--Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.

When I would do good, evil is present with me.--Be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.

I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing.--Ye are complete in him.--Perfect in Christ Jesus.

Ye are washed, ...ye are sanctified, ...ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.--That ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.
