Psalm 51:5-11New International Version (NIV)
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.
Dear Lord, You desire my faithfulness. You teach me your wisdom. I am clean through faith in Jesus. You blot out all my failings and sins. You remove them as far as the east is from the west. Create in me a pure heart and renew in me a steadfast spirit. Give me your presence and provide for my needs. Thank you for your Holy Spirit who is my helper. I praise your Holy Name. In Jesus’ Name I Pray, Amen.
