• Psalm 51:1-7
  Have mercy upon me, O God,
  According to Your lovingkindness;
  According to the multitude of Your tender mercies,
  Blot out my transgressions.
  Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
  And cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions,
  And my sin is always before me.
  Against You, You only, have I sinned,
  And done this evil in Your sight—
  That You may be found just when You speak,
  And blameless when You judge. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
  And in sin my mother conceived me.
  Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
  And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
  Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
  
   
• Psalm 51:10-12
  Create in me a clean heart, O God,
  And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
  Do not cast me away from Your presence,
  And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
  And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
  
   
• Psalm 51:16-17
  For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it;
  You do not delight in burnt offering.
  The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
  A broken and a contrite heart—
  These, O God, You will not despise.
   
• 2 Corinthians 7:10-11
  For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
   
• Psalm 51:14
  Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
  The God of my salvation,
  And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.
