Psalm 51:1-4
English Standard Version
Create in Me a Clean Heart, O God
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, when (A)Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.
51 (B)Have mercy on me,[a] O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your (C)abundant mercy
(D)blot out my transgressions.
2 (E)Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and (F)cleanse me from my sin!
3 (G)For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
4 (H)Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil (I)in your sight,
(J)so that you may be justified in your words
and blameless in your judgment.

Psalm 51:10-17
English Standard Version
10 (A)Create in me a (B)clean heart, O God,
and (C)renew a right[a] spirit within me.
11 (D)Cast me not away from your presence,
and take not (E)your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with a willing spirit.
13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will (F)return to you.
14 Deliver me from (G)bloodguiltiness, O God,
O (H)God of my salvation,
and (I)my tongue will sing aloud of your (J)righteousness.
15 O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
16 (K)For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;
you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are (L)a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
