2

Yea, vvash me more from mine offence, and cleanse me from my sinne: For I doe knovv my faults and still my sinnes are in mine eyne.

3

Against thee, thee alone I haue offended in this case: And euill haue I done before the presence of thy face.

4

That in the things that thou dost say, vpright thou maist be tride: And eke in iudging that the doome▪ may passe vpon thy side.

5

Behold, in vvickednesse my kinde and shape I did receiue: And loe my sinfull mother eke, in sinne did me conceiue.

6

But loe the truth of invvard parts is pleasant vnto thee: And secrets of thy vvisedome thou reuealed hast to me.

7

VVith Hysop Lord besprinkle me,

I shall be cleansed so: Yea, vvash thou me, and so I shall be vvhiter then the snovv.

8

Of ioy and gladnesse make thou me to heare the pleasing voyce: That so the bruised bones vvhich thou hast broken may reioyce.

9

From the beholding of my sinnes, Lord turne avvay thy face: And all my deeds of vvickednesse, doe vtterly deface.

10

13

O God that art my God of health, from bloud deliuer me: That prayses of thy righteousnesse, my tongue may sing to thee.

14

My lips that yet fast closed be, doe thou O Lord vnlose: The praises of thy maiestie, my mouth shall so disclose.

15

I vvould haue offered sacrifice, if that had pleased thee: But pleased vvith burnt offerings, I knovv thou vvilt not be.

16

A troubled spirit is sacrifice, delightfull in Gods eyes: A broken and an humble heart, God thou vvilt not despise.

17

In thy good vvill deale gently Lord to Sion, and vvithall Grant that of thy Ierusalem, vpreard may be the vvall.

Burnt offerings, gifts, and sacrifice, of iustice in that day: Thou shalt accept, and Calues they shall vpon thine Altar lay.
