Psalms 51:7-17

7Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

8Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.

9Turn your face away from my sins and blot out all my guilt.

10God, create a clean heart for me and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

11Do not banish me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.

12Restore the joy of your salvation to me, and sustain me by giving me a willing spirit.

13Then I will teach the rebellious your ways, and sinners will return to you.

14Save me from the guilt of bloodshed, God — God of my salvation — and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.

15Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.

16You do not want a sacrifice, or I would give it; you are not pleased with a burnt offering.

17The sacrifice pleasing to God is a broken spirit. You will not despise a broken and humbled heart, God.
