13. Do not cast me away from your face; and do not take your Holy Spirit from me.
14. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and confirm me with an unsurpassed spirit.
15. I will teach the unjust your ways, and the impious will be converted to you.
16. Free me from blood, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue will extol your justice.
17. O Lord, you will open my lips, and my mouth will announce your praise.
18. For if you had desired sacrifice, I would certainly have given it, but with holocausts, you will not be delighted.
