5. Yes, I was born in guilt, in sin,from the moment my mother conceived me.
6. And yes, you want truth in the most hidden places;you teach me wisdom in the most secret space.
7. Purify me with hyssop and I will be clean;wash me and I will be whiter than snow.
8. Let me hear joy and celebration again;let the bones you crushed rejoice once more.
9. Hide your face from my sins;wipe away all my guilty deeds!
10. Create a clean heart for me, God;put a new, faithful spirit deep inside me!
11. Please don’t throw me out of your presence;please don’t take your holy spirit away from me.
12. Return the joy of your salvation to meand sustain me with a willing spirit.
13. Then I will teach wrongdoers your ways,and sinners will come back to you.
14. Deliver me from violence, God, God of my salvation,so that my tongue can sing of your righteousness.
