therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart (Psalm 51:6)

Invitatory Psalm 100
Psalm 37
Daily Lectionary Reading: Psalm 51:1-7
Have mercy on me, God, according to your faithful love!
Wipe away my wrongdoings according to your great compassion!
2 Wash me completely clean of my guilt;
purify me from my sin!
3 Because I know my wrongdoings,
my sin is always right in front of me.
4 I’ve sinned against you—you alone.
I’ve committed evil in your sight.
That’s why you are justified when you render your verdict,
completely correct when you issue your judgment.
5 Yes, I was born in guilt, in sin,
from the moment my mother conceived me.
6 And yes, you want truth in the most hidden places;
you teach me wisdom in the most secret space. [r]
7 Purify me with hyssop and I will be clean;
wash me and I will be whiter than snow._________________________________________________ r Heb uncertain
