(19) May this be written down for a coming generation,
that people yet to be created may praise the Holy One.

(30) For on this day atonement shall be made for you to purify you of all your sins; you shall be pure before יהוה.
(יב) לֵ֣ב טָ֭הוֹר בְּרָא־לִ֣י אֱלֹהִ֑ים וְר֥וּחַ נָ֝כ֗וֹן חַדֵּ֥שׁ בְּקִרְבִּֽי׃
(12) Fashion a pure heart for me, O God; create in me a steadfast spirit.
Midrash Socher Tov 102
Some say this means that on Yom Kippur, all of Israel is created as a people, it is as if they are created new and have no connections with the sins they did prior.
Some say this means that on Yom Kippur, all of Israel is created as a people, it is as if they are created new and have no connections with the sins they did prior.
Others say, the verse should be understood to mean that after teshuva their sins no longer have a claim on them, as it says “you shall be pure before the Holy One” (Lev. 16:30), which means that the Holy One of Blessing creates them like new creations on Yom Kippur. This is like the verse, “fashion a pure heart for me, O God,” this means a new creation that is the essential element of the holy day.

(1) A song of ascents. Out of the depths I call You, Hashem.

The above teaching describes that the process of creation inherently includes purification even for the most serious transgressions. This is just as was explained by the Kovriner Rebbe:
“Out of the depths I call to you, Holy One”
—Psalm 130:1
This refers to out of the depths of the husks of darkness I call to you, Holy One. The meaning here is that from the depths of darkness, we find the holy sparks that have fallen into the darkening husks.
—Psalm 130:1
This refers to out of the depths of the husks of darkness I call to you, Holy One. The meaning here is that from the depths of darkness, we find the holy sparks that have fallen into the darkening husks.
All this is achieved through the power of trust that one that the Holy One dwells with every person even amidst his sins. God hears listens to your voice that comes forth out of the darkening husks.
