Scripture
KJV
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free Spirit.
ESV
Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.
Psalm 51:12
Poem
Ah! why, by passing clouds oppressed,
Should vexing thoughts distract thy breast?
Turn, turn to Him, in every pain,
Whom never suppliant sought in vain.
