51 (1) | Psalm 51 Version 1 | 7 7. 7 7. 7 7 | |
GOD be merciful to me, On Thy grace I rest my plea; Plenteous in compassion Thou, Blot out my transgression now; Wash me, make me pure within; Cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin. |
|||
2 | My transgressions I confess, Grief and guilt my soul oppress; I have sinned against Thy grace, Long provoked Thee to Thy face; I confess my judgement just, Only in Thy mercy trust. |
||
3 | I am evil, born in sin, Thou desirest truth within; Thou alone my Saviour art, Teach, restore and take my heart; Make me pure, Thy grace bestow, Wash me whiter than the snow. |
||
4 | Broken, humbled to the dust By Thy wrath and judgement just, Make this contrite heart rejoice, And in gladness hear Thy voice; From my sins, O hide Thy face, Blot them out in boundless grace. |
||
The Psalter, 1912 |
