Psalm 51:7-12

Revised Standard Version

⁷Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
    wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
⁸Fill^[a] me with joy and gladness;
    let the bones which thou hast broken rejoice.
⁹Hide thy face from my sins,
    and blot out all my iniquities.

¹⁰Create in me a clean heart, O God,
    and put a new and right^[b] spirit within me.
¹¹Cast me not away from thy presence,
    and take not thy holy Spirit from me.
¹²Restore to me the joy of thy salvation,
    and uphold me with a willing spirit.
