Psalm 51:10-17

Amplified Bible

¹⁰ 
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a right and steadfast spirit within me.
¹¹ 
Do not cast me away from Your presence
And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
¹² 
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation
And sustain me with a willing spirit.
¹³ 
Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,
And sinners shall be converted and return to You.

¹⁴ 
Rescue me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation;
Then my tongue will sing joyfully of Your righteousness and Your justice.
¹⁵ 
O Lord, open my lips,
That my mouth may declare Your praise.
¹⁶ 
For You do not delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it;
You are not pleased with burnt offering.^(A)
17 
My [only] sacrifice [acceptable] to God is a broken spirit;
A broken and contrite heart [broken with sorrow for sin, thoroughly penitent], such, O God, You will not despise.
