Psalm 51:6-10
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 You desire truth in the inward being;[a]
therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.(A)
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.(B)
8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones that you have crushed rejoice.(C)
9 Hide your face from my sins,
and blot out all my iniquities.(D)
Psalm 51:6-10
The Voice
6 But still, You long to enthrone truth throughout my being;
in unseen places deep within me, You show me wisdom.
7 Cleanse me of my wickedness with hyssop, and I will be clean.
If You wash me, I will be whiter than snow.
8 Help me hear joy and happiness as my accompaniment,
so my bones, which You have broken, will dance in delight instead.
9 Cover Your face so You will not see my sins,
and erase my guilt from the record.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God;
restore within me a sense of being brand new.
