Psalms 51:6-13

6Behold, You desire 1truth in the 2innermost being, And in the hidden part You will 3make me know wisdom.7 4Purify me 5with hyssop, and I shall be clean; 6Wash me, and I shall be 7whiter than snow.8 8Make me to hear 9joy and gladness, Let the 10bones which You have broken rejoice.9 11Hide Your face from my sins And blot out all my iniquities.

10 12Create 13in me a 14clean heart, O God, And renew 15a 16steadfast spirit within me.11 17Do not cast me away from Your presence And do not take Your 18Holy Spirit from me.12Restore to me the 19joy of Your salvation And sustain me with a 20willing spirit.13Then I will 21teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners will 22be 23converted to You.
