Psalm 51:9-19 American Standard Version (ASV)

9. Hide thy face from my sins, And blot out all mine iniquities.

10. Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me.

11. Cast me not away from thy presence; And take not thy holy Spirit from me.

12. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; And uphold me with a willing spirit.

13. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; And sinners shall be converted unto thee.

14. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation; And my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

15. O Lord, open thou my lips; And my mouth shall show forth thy praise.

16. For thou delightest not in sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.

17. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

18. Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: Build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

19. Then will thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, In burnt-offering and in whole burnt-offering: Then will they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
