I think the psalmist was on the right track when the words "create in me a clean heart o God" came streaming out of his heart. I think the idea of making this a part of the weekly liturgy often set to music can help quiet the inner soul and bring us round to a better place. Seems like we have been creating blockades to that inner peace and focus of late, particulary in our day to day wanderings in "the church". It's submerged in the 51st Psalm, used often in penitential and Lenten liturgies. I will try to remember and repeat the 10th and 11th verses: "Create in me a clean heart, O God. and put a new and right spirit within me. Do not cast me away from your presence, and do not take you holy spirit from me."
But really, those first words of verse 10: "'Create in me a clean heart, O God."
