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 salvation
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 51:10-12, 17~

I always loved this in the hymn version. It never fails to center my heart and focus my mind on the important things.
ReplyDeleteThese verses make a great daily prayer.
ReplyDeleteSo glad he treasures our hearts as they are, broken and contrite, and doesn't demand perfection before he loves us!
