MISERERE.

Psalmus 50.

Miserere mei, Deus :* secundum magnam misericordiam tuam.

Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum :* dele iniquitatem meam.

Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea :

a peccato meo munda me.

* et

Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco: et peccatum meum contra me est semper.

Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci:* ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris.

Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum:* et in peccatis concepit me mater mea. Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti :* incerta et .* occulta sapientiæ tuæ manifestasti mihi.

Asperges me hyssopo, et mundabor:* lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.

Auditui meo dabis gaudium et lætitiam :* et exultabunt ossa humiliata.

Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis:* et omnes iniquitates meas dele.

MISERERE.

Have mercy on me, O God: according to Thy great mercy.

And according to the multitude of Thy tender mercies: blot out my iniquity.

Wash me yet more from my iniquity: and cleanse me from my sin.

For I know my iniquity: and my sin is always before me.

To Thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before Thee: that Thou mayest be justified in Thy words, and mayest overcome when Thou art judged.

For behold, I was conceived in iniquities: and in sins did my mother conceive me.

For behold, Thou hast loved truth: the uncertain and hidden things of Thy wisdom Thou hast made manifest to me.

Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.

To my hearing Thou shalt give joy and gladness and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.

:

Turn away Thy face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities.

Cor mundum crea in me, Deus : * et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis.

Ne projicias me a facie tua:* et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me.

Redde mihi lætitiam salutaris tui :* et spiritu principali confirma me.

Docebo iniquos vias tuas :* et impii ad te

convertentur.

Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus, Deus salutis meæ:* et exaltabit lingua mea justitiam tuam.

Domine, labia mea aperies:* et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam.

Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium, dedissem utique:* holocaustis non delectaberis.

Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus:* cor contritum et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies.

Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion:* ut ædificentur muri Jerusalem.

Tunc acceptabis sacrificium justitiæ, oblationes, et holocausta :* tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos.

J Gloria, &c.

Create a clean heart in me, O God: and renew a right spirit within my bowels,

Cast me not away from Thy face: and take not Thy holy spirit from me.

Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation : and strengthen me with a perfect spirit.

I will teach the unjust Thy ways: and the wicked shall be converted unto Thee.

Deliver me from blood, O God, Thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall extol Thy justice.

:

O Lord, Thou wilt open my lips and my mouth shall declare Thy praise.

For if Thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: with burnt offerings Thou wilt not be delighted.

A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: 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 Jerusalem may be built up.

Then shalt Thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations, and whole burnt-offerings: then shall they lay calves upon Thine altar. Glory, &c.
