Psalm 51:7-17 (New International Version)

 ⁷ Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
       wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

 ⁸ Let me hear joy and gladness;
       let the bones you have crushed rejoice.

 ⁹ Hide your face from my sins
       and blot out all my iniquity.

 ¹⁰ Create in me a pure heart, O God,
       and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

 ¹¹ Do not cast me from your presence
       or take your Holy Spirit from me.

 ¹² Restore to me the joy of your salvation
       and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

 ¹³ Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
       and sinners will turn back to you.

 ¹⁴ Save me from bloodguilt, O God,
       the God who saves me,
       and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.

 ¹⁵ O Lord, open my lips,
       and my mouth will declare your praise.

 ¹⁶ You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
       you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.

 ¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are ^[a] a broken spirit;
       a broken and contrite heart,
       O God, you will not despise.
