  1. Psalm 51:7 Sprinkle me with the cleansing blood, literally, “Purge me with hyssop”; see Exodus 12:22; Hebrews 9:18-22.

Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb;
    you taught me wisdom(A) in that secret place.(B)

Cleanse(C) me with hyssop,(D) and I will be clean;
    wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.(E)
Let me hear joy and gladness;(F)
    let the bones(G) you have crushed rejoice.
