50:3b Et secúndum multitúdinem miseratiónum tuárum, * dele iniquitátem meam.

50:4 Ámplius lava me ab iniquitáte mea: * et a peccáto meo munda me.

50:5 Quóniam iniquitátem meam ego cognósco: * et peccátum meum contra me est semper.

50:6 Tibi soli peccávi, et malum coram te feci: * ut justificéris in sermónibus tuis, et vincas cum judicáris.

50:7 Ecce enim, in iniquitátibus concéptus sum: * et in peccátis concépit me mater mea.

50:8 Ecce enim, veritátem dilexísti: * incérta et occúlta sapiéntiæ tuæ manifestásti mihi.

50:4 Wash me once again from my iniquity, * and cleanse me from my sin.

50:5 For I know my iniquity, * and my sin is ever before me.

50:6 Against you only have I sinned, and I have done evil before your eyes. * And so, you are justified in your words, and you will prevail when you give judgment.

50:7 For behold, I was conceived in iniquities, * and in sinfulness did my mother conceive me.

50:8 For behold, you have loved truth. * The obscure and hidden things of your wisdom, you have manifested to me.

Hymn

Jesu, salvation’s Sun Divine,

Within our inmost bosoms shine,

With light all darkness drive away

And give the world a better day.

Now days of grace with mercy flow,

O Lord, the gift of tears bestow,

To wash our stains in every part,

Whilst heavenly fire consumes the heart.

Rise, crystal tears, from that same source

From whence our sins derive their course;

Nor cease, till hardened hearts relent,

And softened by your streams, repent.

Behold, the happy days return,

The days of joy for them that mourn;

May we of their indulgence share,

And bless the God that grants our prayer.

May heaven and earth aloud proclaim

The Trinity’s almighty fame;

And we, restored to grace, rejoice

In newness both of heart and voice.

Amen.

℣ God has given his Angels charge over you.

℟ To keep you in all your ways.
