[220]

[all] my iniquities expiate from me. Create a clean heart in me, O God, and renew a right spirit within my inward parts. Cast me not away, O Lord, from Thy presence, and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation, and uphold me with Thy guiding Spirit. I will teach the lawless Thy ways, and the ungodly shall turn unto Thee. Deliver me from blood[guiltiness], O God, God of my salvation; my tongue shall rejoice in Thy righteousness. O Lord, if Thou open my lips, my mouth shall sing Thy praises. For if Thou hadst desired sacrifice, we would have offered [it]; but Thou delightest not in whole burnt offerings. The sacrifice to God is a contrite spirit; a clean heart and a contrite spirit God will not despise. Do good, O Lord, in Thy good pleasure unto Zion, and let the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, when they shall offer bullocks upon Thine altar [as] vow-offerings. Glory [to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit]. Now and [always and unto the ages of ages. Amen].
