Psalms 51:10-17

10 1Create 2in me a 3clean heart, O God, And renew 4a 5steadfast spirit within me.11 6Do not cast me away from Your presence And do not take Your 7Holy Spirit from me.12Restore to me the 8joy of Your salvation And sustain me with a 9willing spirit.13Then I will 10teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners will 11be 12converted to You.

14Deliver me from 13bloodguiltiness, O God, 14the God of my salvation; Then my 15tongue will joyfully sing of Your righteousness.15O Lord, 16 17open my lips, That my mouth may 18declare Your praise.16For You 19do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; You are not pleased with burnt offering.17The sacrifices of God are a 20broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.
