Psalms 51:9-18

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.

¹⁶For thou delightest not in sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.

¹⁷The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

¹⁸Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: Build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
