¹⁰ Create in me a pure heart,^(A) O God,
    and renew a steadfast spirit within me.^(B)

³ Who may ascend the mountain^(A) of the Lord?
    Who may stand in his holy place?^(B)
4 The one who has clean hands^(C) and a pure heart,^(D)
    who does not trust in an idol^(E)
    or swear by a false god.^[a]

⁵ For his anger^(A) lasts only a moment,^(B)
    but his favor lasts a lifetime;^(C)
weeping^(D) may stay for the night,
    but rejoicing comes in the morning.^(E)

⁷ Cleanse^(A) me with hyssop,^(B) and I will be clean;
    wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.^(C)

¹⁵ For this is what the high and exalted^(A) One says—
    he who lives forever,^(B) whose name is holy:
“I live in a high^(C) and holy place,
    but also with the one who is contrite^(D) and lowly in spirit,^(E)
to revive the spirit of the lowly
    and to revive the heart of the contrite.^(F)
16 I will not accuse^(G) them forever,
    nor will I always be angry,^(H)
for then they would faint away because of me—
    the very people^(I) I have created.
