Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 51 of Psalms. Psalm 51 is a penitential prayer centered on confession of sin and the need for inner renewal. The psalmist does not attempt to justify himself through external circumstances, but acknowledges his guilt before God and asks for cleansing, a pure heart, and a steadfast spirit. Inner restoration has a communal dimension: one who again experiences salvation can teach others. The conclusion connects individual restoration with the well-being of Zion and with sacrifices offered rightly.

Siehe, du hast Lust zur Wahrheit, die im Verborgenen liegt; du lässest mich wissen die heimliche Weisheit.
Hazme oír gozo y alegría; Y se recrearán los huesos que has abatido.
Hazme oír gozo y alegría; que se regocijen los huesos que has quebrantado.
Annonce-moi l'allégresse et la joie, Et les os que tu as brisés se réjouiront.
Fammi udire gioia ed allegrezza; Fa’ che le ossa che tu hai tritate, festeggino.
Faze-me ouvir júbilo e alegria, para que gozem os ossos que tu quebraste.
求你使我得聽歡喜快樂的聲音, 使你所壓傷的骨頭可以踴躍。
