One: Let us respond with David’s words:
All: Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
 One: Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy Holy Spirit from me.
All: Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.
One: Then will I teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall be converted unto thee, even as I am
delivered from my guilt.
 All: Now, Lord, allow me to open my lips, and my mouth will fill with your praises. Praise will be my sacrifice
to you, for you delight in the humble and honest heart.
