Create in me a clean heart O God and renew a right spirit within me is a verse from Psalm 51:10 in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament. This verse is part of a penitential psalm attributed to King David, which expresses deep remorse and a plea for purification and renewal. The phrase Create in me a clean heart translates to הַבְרָא־לִי אֱלֹהִים לֵב טָהוֹר (havra-li elohim lev tahor) in Hebrew. In Latin, it is rendered as Crea in me Deus cor mundum, and in Greek, it appears as Δῦνα, ὁ Θεός, ἐν ἐμοὶ καρδίαν καθαράν (Dyna, ho Theos, en emoi kardia katharan). This verse is often used in Christian and Jewish liturgical traditions as a prayer for spiritual renewal and moral cleansing. It reflects the biblical theme of repentance and the transformative power of divine intervention in the human heart.
