8 Let me hear joy and gladness;

let the bones you have crushed rejoice.ah

9 Turn your face awayC from my sins

and blot out all my guilt.ai

10 God, create a clean heart for me

and renew a steadfastA spirit within me.a

11 Do not banish me from your presence

or take your Holy Spirit from me.b

12 Restore the joy of your salvation to me,

and sustain me by giving me a willing spirit.c
