Psalms 51:6-15

⁶Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts; And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom.

⁷Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

⁸Make me to hear joy and gladness, That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

⁹Hide thy face from my sins, And blot out all mine iniquities.

¹⁰Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me.

¹¹Cast me not away from thy presence; And take not thy holy Spirit from me.

¹²Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; And uphold me with a willing spirit.

¹³Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; And sinners shall be converted unto thee.

¹⁴Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation; And my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

¹⁵O Lord, open thou my lips; And my mouth shall show forth thy praise.
