Psalms 51:6-13

6Behold, You desire 1truth in the 2innermost being, And in secret You will 3make wisdom known to me.7 4Purify me 5with hyssop, and I will be clean; 6Cleanse me, and I will be 7whiter than snow.8 8Let me hear 9joy and gladness, Let the 10bones You have broken rejoice.9 11Hide Your face from my sins And wipe out all my guilty deeds.

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