"Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me ... O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praise." Psalms 51:10 & 15
Psalms 51 is a prayer that David uttered after he has done wrong, knows that he has done wrong and sinned against God (verses 3 & 4), and he is now asking for mercy and forgiveness, and for God's help to do better in the future.
We would all do well to read Psalms 51:1-15 daily, and to pray a similar prayer. All of our sins are sins against God. We need His mercy, and we need for Him to create in us a pure heart and a steadfast spirit. We need for Him to guide and control our tongue so that the words of our mouths will be acceptable in His sight.
