1 shall be cleansed ; Thou shalt wash me, and I
shall be whiter than snow. Thou shalt make me
to hear joy and gladness ; my bones, which have
been humbled, shall exult. Turn away Thy face
from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a
right spirit within me. 9 Cast me not away from
Thy presence, and take not Thy Holy Spirit from
me. Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation,
and estaljlish me by Tliy governing Spirit. I
will teach transgressors Thy ways, and the un-
godly shall be converted unto Thee. Deliver
me from blood-guiltiness, '° O God, the God ot
my salvation : my tongue shall exult in Thy
righteousness. O Lord, Thou shalt open my
mouth, and my lips shall show forth Thy praise.
For if Thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would have
given it ; Thou wilt not delight in burnt-offerings.
