Psalms 51:7-15 (NLT)
-------
Purify me from my sins,* and I will be clean;  wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Oh, give me back my joy again;  you have broken me—  now let me rejoice. Don't keep looking at my sins.  Remove the stain of my guilt. Create in me a clean heart, O God.  Renew a loyal spirit within me. Do not banish me from your presence,  and don't take your Holy Spirit* from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation,  and make me willing to obey you. Then I will teach your ways to rebels,  and they will return to you. Forgive me for shedding blood, O God who saves;  then I will joyfully sing of your forgiveness. Unseal my lips, O Lord,  that my mouth may praise you.
