6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.

7 ^aPurge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
Wash me, and I shall be ^bwhiter than snow.

8 Make me hear joy and gladness,
That the bones You have broken ^amay rejoice.

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

10 ^aCreate in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

11 Do not cast me away from Your presence,
And do not take Your ^aHoly Spirit from me.

12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
And uphold me by Your ^agenerous Spirit.

13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,
And sinners shall be converted to You.

14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
The God of my salvation,
And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.
