Psalm 51

Psalm 51:7-10

Cleanse me with your healing balm, and I will be made clean, my heart will be purified;

Scour me, and I will sparkle like newly fallen snow.

Open my ears to joy and rejoicing;

Let my despairing and crushed body call out to you.

Do not look on my sins, my shame, and wipe away all my failings.

Create in me a pure heart, O God, rinse away all the detritus within me,

And renew my spirit, strengthen my soul, fortify my being.
