Psalms 19:13

11 By them indeed Your servant is warned; in keeping them is great reward.

12 Who can discern his own errors? Cleanse me from my hidden faults.

Keep Your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless and cleansed of great transgression.

14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
