8 Let me hear joy and celebration again;let the bones you crushed rejoice once more.
9 Hide your face from my sins;wipe away all my guilty deeds!
10 Create a clean heart for me, God;put a new, faithful spirit deep inside me!
11 Please don’t throw me out of your presence;please don’t take your holy spirit away from me.
12 Return the joy of your salvation to meand sustain me with a willing spirit.
13 Then I will teach wrongdoers your ways,and sinners will come back to you.
14 Deliver me from violence, God, God of my salvation,so that my tongue can sing of your righteousness.
