## Create in Me a Clean Heart, O God
###### 1
Be gracious to me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; According to the abundance of Your compassion blot out my transgressions.
###### 2
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity And cleanse me from my sin.
###### 3
For I know my transgressions, And my sin is ever before me.
###### 4
Against You, You only, I have sinned _And_ done what is evil in Your sight, So that You are justified when You speak And pure when You judge.
###### 5
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.
###### 6
Behold, You delight in truth in the innermost being, And in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom.
###### 7
Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
###### 8
Make me to hear joy and gladness, Let the bones which You have crushed rejoice.
###### 9
Hide Your face from my sins And blot out all my iniquities.
###### 10
Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a 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 will be converted to You.
###### 14
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation; _Then_ my tongue will joyfully sing of Your righteousness.
###### 15
O Lord, open my lips, That my mouth may declare Your praise.
###### 16
For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; You are not pleased with burnt offering.
###### 17
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.
###### 18
By Your favor do good to Zion; Build the walls of Jerusalem.
###### 19
Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, In burnt offering and whole burnt offering; Then young bulls will be offered on Your altar.
