In It I Found Peace: the Book of Psalm

In it i found peace: The Book of Psalm

Have mercy on me,
 Oh God, 
according to your unfailing love;
 according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.

Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. 
Surely you desire truth in the inner parts;
 you teach me wisdom in the inmost place. Create in me a pure heart, 
Oh God,
 and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. 
Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, 
and I will be whiter than snow

 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice. 
Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, 
to sustain me. 

In you
,oh God,
 I found peace
