Psalms 51:8-15

⁸Make me full of joy and rapture; so that the bones which have been broken may be glad.

⁹Let your face be turned from my wrongdoing, and take away all my sins.

¹⁰Make a clean heart in me, O God; give me a right spirit again.

¹¹Do not put me away from before you, or take your holy spirit from me.

¹²Give me back the joy of your salvation; let a free spirit be my support.

¹³Then will I make your ways clear to wrongdoers; and sinners will be turned to you.

¹⁴Be my saviour from violent death, O God, the God of my salvation; and my tongue will give praise to your righteousness.

¹⁵O Lord, let my lips be open, so that my mouth may make clear your praise.
