Create for me, O God, a pure and humble heart.

Response:
Create a clean heart in me, O God.

1 A pure heart create for me, O God,
put a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast my away from your presence,
nor deprive me of your holy spirit. [Response]

2 Give me again the joy of your help;
with a spirit of fervor sustain me,
tht I may teach transgressors your ways
and sinners may return to you. [Response]

3 For in sacrifice you take no delight,
burnt offering from me you would refuse;
my sacrifice, a contrite spirit,
a humbled, contrite heart you will not spurn. [Response]
