5. Behold, I in iniquitywas form'd the womb within;My mother also me conceiv'din guiltiness and sin.
6. Behold, thou in the inward partswith truth delighted art;And wisdom thou shalt make me knowwithin the hidden part.
7. Do thou with hyssop sprinkle me,I shall be cleansed so;Yea, wash thou me, and then I shallbe whiter than the snow.
8. Of gladness and of joyfulnessmake me to hear the voice;That so these very bones which thouhast broken may rejoice.
9. All mine iniquities blot out,thy face hide from my sin.
10. Create a clean heart, Lord, renewa right sp'rit me within.
11. Cast me not from thy sight, nor takethy Holy Sp'rit away.
12. Restore me thy salvation's joy;with thy free Sp'rit me stay.
13. Then will I teach thy ways untothose that transgressors be;And those that sinners are shall thenbe turned unto thee.
14. O God, of my salvation God,me from blood-guiltinessSet free; then shall my tongue aloudsing of thy righteousness.
15. My closed lips, O Lord, by theelet them be opened;Then shall thy praises by my mouthabroad be published.
16. For thou desir'st not sacrifice,else would I give it thee;Nor wilt thou with burnt-offeringat all delighted be.
17. A broken spirit is to Goda pleasing sacrifice:A broken and a contrite heart,Lord, thou wilt not despise.
