Psalms 51 — Context

Make me free from sin with hyssop: let me be washed whiter than snow.

Make me full of joy and rapture; so that the bones which have been broken may be glad.

Let your face be turned from my wrongdoing, and take away all my sins.

Make a clean heart in me, O God; give me a right spirit again.

Do not put me away from before you, or take your holy spirit from me.

Give me back the joy of your salvation; let a free spirit be my support.

Then will I make your ways clear to wrongdoers; and sinners will be turned to you.
