Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvaiton and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me…My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise. — Psalm 51 NIV
