Psalm 51

Miserere mei, Deus

11

Create in me a clean heart, O God, *

and renew a right spirit within me.

12

Cast me not away from your presence *

and take not your holy Spirit from me.

13

Give me the joy of your saving help again *

and sustain me with your bountiful Spirit.

14

I shall teach your ways to the wicked, *

and sinners shall return to you.

15

Deliver me from death, O God, *

and my tongue shall sing of your righteousness,

O God of my salvation.

16

Open my lips, O Lord, *

and my mouth shall proclaim your praise.
