7. For behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sinfulness did my mother conceive me.
8. For behold, you have loved truth. The obscure and hidden things of your wisdom, you have manifested to me.
9. You will sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed. You will wash me, and I will be made whiter than snow.
10. In my hearing, you will grant gladness and rejoicing. And the bones that have been humbled will exult.
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.
