Psalms 51:5-13

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

⁶(51-8) Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts; make me, therefore, to know wisdom in mine inmost heart.

⁷(51-9) Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

⁸(51-10) Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast crushed may rejoice.

⁹(51-11) Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

¹⁰(51-12) Create me a clean heart, O God; and renew a stedfast spirit within me.

¹¹(51-13) Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy holy spirit from me.

¹²(51-14) Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and let a willing spirit uphold me.

¹³(51-15) Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall return unto Thee.
