Psalms 51:8-18 Modern English Version (MEV)

8. Make me to hear joy and gladness,that the bones that You have broken may rejoice.

9. Hide Your face from my sins,and blot out all my iniquities.

10. Create in me a clean heart, O God,and renew a right spirit within me.

11. Do not cast me away from Your presence,and do not take Your Holy Spirit fromme.

12. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,and uphold me with Your willing spirit.

13. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,and sinners will return to You.

14. Deliver me from blood guiltiness, O God,God of my salvation,and my tongue will sing aloud of Your righteousness.

15. O Lord, open my lips,and my mouth will declare Your praise.

16. For You do not desire sacrifice, or I would give it;You do not delight in burnt offering.

17. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;a broken and a contrite heart,O God, You will not despise.

18. Do good to Zion in Your good pleasure;build the walls of Jerusalem.
