^23 (A)Search me, God, and know my heart;
^(B)Put me to the test and know my anxious thoughts;
²⁴ And see if there is any ^[a](C)hurtful way in me,
And ^(D)lead me in the ^(E)everlasting way.

^7 [a]Purify me ^(A)with hyssop, and I will be clean;
^[b]Cleanse me, and I will be ^(B)whiter than snow.
^8 [c]Let me hear ^(C)joy and gladness,
Let the ^(D)bones You have broken rejoice.

^10 (A)Create ^[a]in me a ^(B)clean heart, God,
And renew a ^(C)steadfast spirit within me.
^11 (D)Do not cast me away from Your presence,
And do not take Your ^(E)Holy Spirit from me.
¹² Restore to me the ^(F)joy of Your salvation,
And sustain me with a ^(G)willing spirit.
¹³ Then I will ^(H)teach wrongdoers Your ways,
And sinners will ^[b]be ^(I)converted to You.

¹⁴ Save me from ^(J)the guilt of bloodshed, God, ^(K)the God of my salvation;
Then my ^(L)tongue will joyfully sing of Your righteousness.
¹⁵ Lord, ^[c](M)open my lips,
So that my mouth may ^(N)declare Your praise.
