The ORDER of THE GENERAL MOLEBEN
- 9 -
Then, PSALM 5O
Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy; and according to
the multitude of Thy compassions blot out my transgression.
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
For I know mine iniquity, and my sin is ever before me.
Against Thee only have I sinned and done this evil before Thee, that Thou
mightest be justified in Thy words, and prevail when Thou art judged.
For behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother bear me.
For behold, Thou hast loved truth; the hidden and secret things of Thy
wisdom hast Thou made manifest unto me.
Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be made clean; Thou shalt
wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
Thou shalt make me to hear joy and gladness; the bones that be humbled,
they shall rejoice.
Turn Thy face away from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from Thy presence, and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation, and with Thy governing Spirit
establish me.
I shall teach transgressors Thy ways, and the ungodly shall turn back unto
Thee.
Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation; my
tongue shall rejoice in Thy righteousness.
