Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, both now and ever,
and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
O come, let us worship God our King.
O come, let us worship and fall down before Christ our King and God.
O come, let us worship and fall down before Christ Himself, our King and
God.
Psalm 50
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. O Lord, Thou shalt open my lips,
and my mouth shall declare Thy praise. For if Thou hadst desired sacrifice, I
had given it; with whole-burnt offerings Thou shalt not be pleased. A
sacrifice unto God is a broken spirit; a heart that is broken and humbled
God will not despise. Do good, O Lord, in Thy good pleasure unto Sion, and
let the walls of Jerusalem be builded. Then shalt Thou be pleased with a
sacrifice of righteousness, with oblation and whole-burnt offerings. Then
shall they offer bullocks upon Thine altar.
