Salmos 51

7 Purify me with hyssop*51:7. A plant used for cleansing, but this is not a useful image for most today. so I can be clean; wash me so I can be whiter than snow.

8 Please let me hear joy and happiness again; let the bones you have crushed be glad once more.

9 Turn your face away from looking at my sins; please wipe away my guilt.

10 Create a pure mind in me, God, and make me trustworthy again.

11 Don’t expel me from your presence; don’t take away your Holy Spirit from me.

12 Give me back the happiness of your salvation; help me to have a willing nature.
