Psalms 51:10-17

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

14Save me from 12the guilt of bloodshed, God, 13the God of my salvation; Then my 14tongue will joyfully sing of Your righteousness.15Lord, 15 16open my lips, So that my mouth may 17declare Your praise.16For You 18do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; You do not take pleasure in burnt offering.17The sacrifices of God are a 19broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, God, You will not despise.
