The Great Bible

1 Have mercy upon me, O God, after thy (great) goodness: according to the multitude of thy mercies do away mine offences.

2 Wash me throughly from mine wickedness: and cleanse me from my sin.

3 For I knowledge my fautes: and my sinne is ever before me.

4 Against the onely have I sinned and done this evill in thy sighte: that thou mightest be justified in thy saiyng and clear when thou art judged.

5 Beholde, I was shapen in wickednes, and in syn hath my mother conceyved me.

6 But lo, thou requirest truth in the inward partes: and shalt make mee to understande wisdom secretely.

7 Thou shalt pourge me with Hyssop, and I shalbe clean: thou shalt washe me, and I shalbe whiter then snow.

8 Thou shalt make me heare joye and gladnes: that the bones which thou hast broken, may rejoyce.

9 Turne thy face from my sinnes: and put out all my misdedes.

10 Make me a clean heart (O God) and renewe a right spirite within me.

11 Cast me not away from thy presence: and take not thy holy spirite from me.

12 O geve me the comfort of thy helpe again: and stablishe me with thy free spirite.

13 Then shall I teache thy ways unto the wicked and sinners shall be converted unto the.

14 Deliver me from bloude giltiness, O God, thou that art the God of my health: and my tongue shal sing of thy righteousnes.

15 Thou shalt open my lyppes, O Lord: my mouthe shall shew thy praise.

16 For thou desirest no sacrifice, else would I geve it thee: but thou delightest not in burnt offeringes.

17 The sacrifice of god is a troubled spirite: a broken and a contrite herte O God shalt thou not dispise.

18 O be favourable & gracious unto Sion: builde thou the walles of Jerusalem.

19 Then shalte thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousnes, with the burnte offerynges and oblations: then shall they offer yong bullockes upon thyne alter.
