You desire truth in the heart;
therefore in my secret heart teach me wisdom.
Wash me and I shall be clean;
and I shall be whiter than snow.
Wash me and I shall be clean;
and I shall be whiter than snow.
~Psalm 51.6-7
Help me with self-control, Lord.
Let every man be quick to hear,
slow to speak, slow to anger;
for a man's anger does not fulfill God's justice.
If a man who does not control his tongue
imagines that he is devout,
he is self-deceived;
his worship is pointless.
