Psalm 51:6

Create In Me A Clean Heart, O God

⁵ Indeed, I was guilty when I was born;
I was sinful when my mother conceived me. ⁶ Surely You desire integrity in the inner self,
and You teach me wisdom deep within.
⁷ Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

In Me
