PSALM 51:1-12.

TAKE ME, MY LORD, AND CLEANSE AND POLISH ME TO REFLECT YOUR IMAGE. YOUR RADIANCE SHINES FROM THE PERFECTION OF YOUR BEING. NO ONE CAN GLIMPSE YOU AND NOT SEE THE GLORY EMANATING FROM YOU AND YOUR LOVE THAT PENETRATES THE BODY, SOUL, AND SPIRIT OF THOSE WHO INVITE YOU TO INDWELL THEM. MOST OF THE WORLD HAS FOCUSED ON THEIR OWN DESIRES, NOT REALIZING YOU ARE LORD OF ALLAND YOU ARE OUR SAVIOR AND OUR JUDGE! AMEN.

“HAVE MERCY UPON ME, O GOD, ACCORDING TO YOUR LOVING-KINDNESS; ACCORDING TO THE MULTITUDE OF YOUR TENDER MERCIES, BLOT OUT MY TRANSGRESSIONS. WASH ME THOROUGHLY FROM MY INIQUITY, AND CLEANSE ME FROM MY SIN. FOR I ACKNOWLEDGE MY TRANSGRESSIONS, AND MY SIN IS EVER BEFORE ME. AGAINST YOU, YOU ONLY, HAVE I SINNED, AND DONE THIS EVIL IN YOUR SIGHT -- THAT YOU MAY BE FOUND JUST WHEN YOU SPEAK, AND BLAMELESS WHEN YOU JUDGE. BEHOLD, I WAS BROUGHT FORTH IN INIQUITY, AND IN SIN MY MOTHER CONCEIVED ME. BEHOLD, YOU DESIRE TRUTH IN THE INWARD PARTS, AND IN THE HIDDEN PART YOU WILL MAKE ME TO KNOW WISDOM. PURGE ME WITH HYSSOP, AND I SHALL BE CLEAN; WASH ME, AND I SHALL BE WHITER THAN SNOW. MAKE ME TO HEAR JOY AND GLADNESS THAT THE BONES WHICH YOU HAVE BROKEN MAY REJOICE. HIDE YOUR FACE FROM MY SINS, AND BLOT OUT ALL MY INIQUITIES. CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART, O GOD, AND RENEW A STEADFAST SPIRIT WITHIN ME. DO NOT CAST ME AWAY FROM YOUR PRESENCE, AND DO NOT TAKE YOUR HOLY SPIRIT FROM ME. RESTORE TO ME THE JOY OF YOUR SALVATION, AND UPHOLD ME WITH YOUR GENEROUS SPIRIT. AMEN”
