Psalms 51:5-11

⁵(51:7) Behold, in iniquity was I brought forth; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

⁶(51:8) Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: therefore do thou cause me to know wisdom in the recesses of the heart.

⁷(51:9) Cleanse me from sin with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

⁸(51:10) Cause me to hear gladness and joy; that the bones which thou hast crushed may rejoice.

⁹(51:11) Hide thy face from my sins, and all my iniquities do thou blot out.

¹⁰(51:12) Create unto me a clean heart, O God; and a firm spirit renew thou within me.

¹¹(51:13) Cast me not away from thy presence; and thy holy spirit do not take from me.
