Psalms 51:11-17

¹¹Cast me not away from thy presence, And take not thy holy spirit from me!

¹²Restore to me the joy of thy protection, And strengthen me with a willing spirit!

¹³Then will I teach thy ways to transgressors, And sinners shall be converted to thee.

¹⁴Deliver me from the guilt of blood, O God, the God of my salvation! That my tongue may sing aloud of thy goodness!

¹⁵O Lord! open thou my lips, That my mouth may show forth thy praise!

¹⁶For thou desirest not sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou delightest not in burnt-offerings.

¹⁷The sacrifice which God loveth is a broken spirit; A broken and contrite heart, O God! thou wilt not despise!
