11 Do not cast me(A) from your presence(B)
    or take your Holy Spirit(C) from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation(D)
    and grant me a willing spirit,(E) to sustain me.(F)

13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,(G)
    so that sinners(H) will turn back to you.(I)
14 Deliver me(J) from the guilt of bloodshed,(K) O God,
    you who are God my Savior,(L)
    and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.(M)
15 Open my lips, Lord,(N)
    and my mouth will declare your praise.
16 You do not delight in sacrifice,(O) or I would bring it;
    you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.

11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
