50:3b And, according to the plentitude of your compassion, * wipe out my iniquity.
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.
50:9 You will sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed. * You will wash me, and I will be made whiter than snow.
50:10 In my hearing, you will grant gladness and rejoicing. * And the bones that have been humbled will exult.

50:12 Create a clean heart in me, O God. * And renew an upright spirit within my inmost being.

50:18 For if you had desired sacrifice, I would certainly have given it, * but with holocausts, you will not be delighted.
50:19 A crushed spirit is a sacrifice to God. * A contrite and humbled heart, O God, you will not spurn.
50:20 Act kindly, Lord, in your good will toward Zion, * so that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.

5:11b Let them fall by their own intentions: † according to the multitude of their impiety, expel them. * For they have provoked you, O Lord.
5:12a But let all those who hope in you rejoice. * They will exult in eternity, and you will dwell in them.

Hymn
O splendour of God’s glory bright,
O thou that bringest light from light,
O light of light, light’s living spring,
O day, all days illumining.
O thou true sun, on us thy glance
Let fall in royal radiance,
The Spirit’s sanctifying beam
Upon our earthly senses stream.
The Father too our prayers implore,
Father of glory evermore,
The Father of all grace and might,
To banish sin from our delight:
To guide whate’er we nobly do,
With love all envy to subdue,
To make ill-fortune turn to fair,
And give us grace our wrongs to bear.
Our mind be in his keeping placed,
Our body true to him and chaste,
Where only faith her fire shall feed,
And burn the tares of Satan’s seed.
And Christ to us for food shall be,
From him our drink that welleth free,
The Spirit’s wine, that maketh whole,
And mocking not, exalts the soul.
Rejoicing may this day go hence,
Like virgin dawn our innocence,
Like fiery noon our faith appear,
Nor know the gloom of twilight drear.
Morn in her rosy car is borne;
Let him come forth our perfect morn,
The Word in God the Father One,
The Father perfect in the Son.
All laud to God the Father be;
All praise, Eternal Son, to thee;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To God the Holy Paraclete.
Amen.
℣ We have been filled in the morning with your mercy.
℟ We have rejoiced and been glad.
