5. Indeed, I was guilty when I was born;I was sinful when my mother conceived me.
6. Surely You desire integrity in the inner self,and You teach me wisdom deep within.
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 gladness;let the bones You have crushed rejoice.
9. Turn Your face away from my sinsand blot out all my guilt.
10. God, create a clean heart for meand renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11. Do not banish me from Your presenceor take Your Holy Spirit from me.
12. Restore the joy of Your salvation to me,and give me a willing spirit.
13. Then I will teach the rebellious Your ways,and sinners will return to You.
14. Save me from the guilt of bloodshed, God, the God of my salvation,and my tongue will sing of Your righteousness.
15. Lord, open my lips,and my mouth will declare Your praise.
