The old Lord's Prayer (Matt 6: 12) goes :
"... And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass
against us. ". So, the word trespassed 'can be used to fill in the first sentence. As for the second sentence, the word short-comings' should be a good option in that it does not take willfulness as a pre-requisite.

Possibly the word you're looking for is transgressed & transgressions, which this gotquestions.org article "What is the difference between iniquity, sin, and transgression?" defines as:
To transgress is to choose to intentionally disobey; transgression is willful trespassing.
But a more precise study of the 3 underlying Hebrew words commonly translated as iniquity, sin, and transgression highlights the differences in other ways, not in terms of intentionality. Below are 3 very good infographics videos produced by The Bible Project:
- Transgression (Hb: Pesha, Gr: Paraptoma]: violate the trust of others: betrayal of a relationship like in a treaty between nations as well as in the universal trust of one human to another who are all made in the image of God
- Iniquity (Hb: Avon): behaviors that are "bent" / "crooked" resulted from a conscience that is bent out of shape, such as the corruption of Israel leaders ignoring justice to the point that in Jerusalem crookedness was the new straight, so God punished them by letting Israel experienced the consequences of their crookedness
- Sin (Hb: Khata, Gr: Hamartia): failure to fulfill human nature's goal (to act in the image of God), thus failure to treat God and others with the honors they deserve, manifested through breaking the 10 commandments
A lesser candidate (but no verb form) is culpability, but it refers more to the degree of responsibility:
Criminal law distinguishes into 4 levels from most serious to least: purposely, knowingly, recklessly, and negligently.
In Catholicism, the most serious degree results in mortal sin when the act fulfills 3 conditions: 1) An act of grave matter that is 2) Committed with full knowledge and 3) Deliberate consent. (each term is very precisely defined within Catholic theology). The same act is considered venial sin when factors such as addiction or passion lessen the force of deliberate consent.

Term that means to commit a sin when you know it is a sin?
If you need a term in the past tense then the term sinned fits the bill for your given scenario:
Steve sinned (past tense verb) by lying, as he knew fully that lying was a sin.
Forgive me, Lord, for my sins and iniquity (noun).
Sin is a moral evil and a morally bad act.
Iniquity is the inner act of willfulness against God.

If a person sins and commits a trespass against the LORD by lying to his neighbor about what was delivered to him for safekeeping, or about a pledge, or about a robbery, or if he has extorted from his neighbor, Leviticus 6:2 NKJV
I know it has been brought up already, but here’s a verse for “trespass” that seems clear that the sin was intentional.
