11. Turn your face away from my sins, and erase all my iniquities.
12. Create a clean heart in me, O God. And renew an upright spirit within my inmost being.
13. Do not cast me away from your face; and do not take your Holy Spirit from me.
14. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and confirm me with an unsurpassed spirit.
15. I will teach the unjust your ways, and the impious will be converted to you.
16. Free me from blood, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue will extol your justice.
17. O Lord, you will open my lips, and my mouth will announce your praise.
18. For if you had desired sacrifice, I would certainly have given it, but with holocausts, you will not be delighted.
19. A crushed spirit is a sacrifice to God. A contrite and humbled heart, O God, you will not spurn.
20. Act kindly, Lord, in your good will toward Zion, so that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.
21. Then you will accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations, and holocausts. Then they will lay calves upon your altar.
