test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and
lead me in the way everlasting.Psalm 51:10-13
(NIV)
10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me from your presence or take

grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will turn back to you.
