4 Against Thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in Thy sight: that Thou mightest be justified in Thy saying, and clear when Thou art judged. 5 Behold, I was shapen in wickedness : and in sin hath my mother conceived me. 6 But lo, Thou requirest truth in the inward parts: and shalt make me to understand wisdom secretly. 7 Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness: that the bones which Thou hast broken may rejoice. 9 Turn Thy face from my sins: and put out all my misdeeds. 10 Make me a clean heart, O GOD and renew a right spirit within me. II Cast me not away from Thy presence and take not Thy HOLY SPIRIT from me. 12 O give me the comfort of Thy help again and stablish me with Thy free SPIRIT. 13 Then shall I teach Thy ways unto the wicked and sinners shall be converted unto Thee. 14 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O GOD, Thou that art the GOD of my health and my tongue shall sing of Thy righteousness. : 15 Thou shalt open my lips, O LORD and my mouth shall shew Thy praise. 16 For Thou desirest no sacrifice, else would I give it Thee: but Thou delightest not in burnt-offerings. 17 The sacrifice of GOD is a troubled spirit : a broken and contrite heart, O GOD, shalt Thou not despise. 18 O be favourable and gracious unto Sion: build Thou the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, with the burnt-offerings and obla tions: then shall they offer young bullocks upon Thine altar. Glory be to the FATHER. PSALM CXXX. OUT of the deep have I called unto Thee, O LORD: LORD, hear my voice. 2 O let Thine ears consider well : the voice of my complaint. 3 If Thou, LORD, wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss: O Lord, who may abide it? 4 For there is mercy with Thee : therefore shalt Thou be feared. 5 I look for the LORD; my soul doth wait for Him in His word is my trust. 6 My soul fleeth unto the LORD: before the morning watch, I say, before the morning watch. 7 O Israel, trust in the LORD, for with the LORD there is mercy and with Him is plenteous redemption. 8 And He shall redeem Israel: from all his sins. Glory be to the FATHER. As it was in the beginning. Or, the following. LITANY. GLORY be to Thee, O LORD, glory to Thee. Glory to Thee, Who givest me sleep to recruit my weakness, and to remit the toils To this day and all days, Vouchsafe, O Lord. The Angel of peace, a faithful guide, guardian of souls and bodies, to encamp around me, and ever to prompt what is salutary, Vouchsafe, O Lord. Pardon and remission Vouchsafe, O LORD. To our souls what is good and peace to the world, Repentance and strictness Whatever is true, whatever is honest, whatever just, whatever pure, whatever lovely, whatever of good report, if there be any virtue, if any praise, such thoughts, such deeds, Vouchsafe, O LORD. A Christian close, without sin, without shame, and, should it please Thee, without pain, and a good answer at the dreadful and fearful Judgement Seat of JESUS CHRIST our LORD, Vouchsafe, O LORD. |
