Psalms 51:6-18
-
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
-
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
-
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
-
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
-
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
-
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
-
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
-
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
-
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
-
15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
-
16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
-
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
-
18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
