PSAL. LI.

[1]

After thy loving kindnesse, Lord,

have mercy upon me:
For thy compassions great, blot out
all mine iniquitie.

2

Me cleanse from sin, and throughly wash

from mine iniquitie.

3

For, my transgressions I confesse,

my sin I ever see.

4

'Gainst thee, thee only, have I finn'd,

in thy sight done this ill,
That, whē thou speaks thō may be just
and clear in judging still.

5

Behold, I in iniquity

was form'd the womb within;
My mother also me conceiv'd
in guiltinesse and sin.

6

Behold, thou, in the inward parts,

with truth delighted art;
And wisdome thou shalt make me know
within the hidden part.

7

Do thou with hyssop sprinkle me,

I shal be cleansed so;
Yea, wash thou me, and then I shal
be whiter then the snow.

8

Of gladnesse, and of joyfulnesse

make me to heare the voice;
That so, these very bones, which thou
hast broken, may rejoyce

9

All mine iniquities blot out,

thy face hide from my sin.

10

Create a clean heart: Lord, renew

a right sp'rit me within.

11

Cast me not from thy sight, nor take

thy holy sp'rit away:

12

Restore me thy salvations joy;

with thy free sp'rit me stay.

13

Then will I teach thy wayes unto

those that transgressours be;
And those that sinners are, shall then
be turned unto thee.

14

O God, of my salvation God,

me from blood-guiltinesse
Set free: then shal my tongue aloud
sing of thy righteousnesse.

15

My closed lips, O Lord, by thee

let them be opened;
Then shall thy praises by my mouth
abroad be published.

16

For thou desir'st not sacrifice,

else would I give it thee;
Nor wilt thou with burnt-offering
at all delighted be.

17

A broken spirit is to God

a pleasing sacrifice,
A broken, and a contrite heart,
Lord, thou wilt not dispise.

18

Shew kindnesse & do good, O Lord,

to Sion thine own hill;
The wals of thy Jerusalem
build up, of thy good wil.

19

The righteous offerings shal thee please



and offerings burnt, which they,
With whole burnt-offrings & wth calves
shall on thine altar lay.
