For behold, thou haft loved truth: the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou haft made manifeft unto me. Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyffop, and I fhall be cleansed: thou fhalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than fnow. To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: and the bones that were humbled shall rejoice. Turn away thy face from my fins: and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God: and renew a right fpirit within my bowels. Caft me not away from thy prefence and take not thy holy spirit from me. Reftore unto me the joy of thy falvation: and ftrengthen me with a perfect fpirit. I will teach the unjust thy ways: and the wicked fhall be converted unto thee. Deliver me from blood, O God, thou God of my falvation: and my tongue fhall extol thy justice. Thou fhalt open my lips, O Lord and my mouth shall declare thy praise. For if thou hadst defired facrifice, I would furely have given it with burnt offerings thou wilt not be delighted. A facrifice to God is an afflicted fpirit: a contrite and humble heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion: that the walls of Jerufalem may be built up. Then fhalt thou accept the facrifice of juftice, oblations, and whole burnt-offerings : then shall they lay calves upon thine altars. H |
