Psalm 51

10 Create in me a pure (clean) heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Psalms 51

For the director of music. A psalm of David.
When the prophet Nathan came to him after
David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.

1 Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.

2 Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.

3 For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.

4 Against you, you only, have I
sinned and done what is evil
in your sight; so you are right
in your verdict and justified
when you judge.

5 Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my
mother conceived me.

6 Yet you desired faithfulness
even in the womb; you taught me
wisdom in that secret place.

7 Cleanse me with hyssop,
and I will be clean; wash me,
and I will be whiter than snow.

8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.

9 Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.

10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

11 Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.

12 Restore to me the joy of your
salvation and grant me a willing
spirit, to sustain me.

13 Then I will teach transgressors
your ways, so that sinners
will turn back to you.

14 Deliver me from the guilt
of bloodshed, O God, you who
are God my Savior, and my tongue
will sing of your righteousness.

15 Open my lips, Lord, and my
mouth will declare your praise.

16 You do not delight in sacrifice,
or I would bring it; you do not take
pleasure in burnt offerings.

17 My sacrifice, O God, is a
broken spirit; a broken and
contrite heart you, God,
will not despise.

18 May it please you to prosper
Zion, to build up the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Then you will delight in the
sacrifices of the righteous,
in burnt offerings offered whole;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.

Proverbs 3

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;

6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.

1 My son, do not forget my teaching,
but keep my commands in your heart,

2 for they will prolong your life many years
and bring you peace and prosperity.

3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck, write
them on the tablet of your heart.

4 Then you will win favor and a
good name in the sight of God and man.

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;

6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
