7. Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean [ceremonially]; wash me, and I shall [in reality] be whiter than snow.
8. Make me to hear joy and gladness and be satisfied; let the bones which You have broken rejoice.
9. Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my guilt and iniquities.
10. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right, persevering, and steadfast spirit within me.
11. Cast me not away from Your presence and take not Your Holy Spirit from me.
12. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and uphold me with a willing spirit.
13. Then will I teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners shall be converted and return to You.
14. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness and death, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness (Your rightness and Your justice).
15. O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall show forth Your praise.
16. For You delight not in sacrifice, or else would I give it; You find no pleasure in burnt offering. [I Sam. 15:22.]
