Can somebody please help me with a detailed exegesis of Psalm 51. Specifically verse 5
Psalm 51:5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Recently, I have come accross some people that hold to a Pelagian understanding of theology and deny original sin. I want to be careful not to misrepresent their position, but generally, they would argue that David's mother was a fornicator (he had half brothers) and that supports that it was her personal sin that he was referred to in this passage. Furthermore, David says he was fearfully and wonderfully made.
Does this interpretation stand up upon the detailed exegesis of this passage?
