    ^(B)wash me, and I shall be ^(C)whiter than snow.
⁸ Let me hear joy and gladness;
    ^(D)let the bones ^(E)that you have broken rejoice.
^9 (F)Hide your face from my sins,
    and ^(G)blot out all my iniquities.
^10 (H)Create in me a ^(I)clean heart, O God,
    and ^(J)renew a right^[a] spirit within me.
