Matthew(i)
1 To the chaunter, a Psalme of Dauid, when the prophet Nathan came vnto hym, after he was gone into Bethsabe. Haue mercy vpon me (O God) after thy goodnes, & according vnto thy great mercyes, do awaye myne offences.
2 Wash me well fro my wickednesse, and clense me fro my synne.
3 For I knowledge my fautes, & my synne is euer before me.
4 Agaynst the only, agaynst the haue I sinned, & done euel in thy sight: that thou mightest be iustified in thy saynges, and shouldest ouercome when thou art iudged.
5 Beholde, I was borne in wickednesse, & in synne hath my mother conceyued me.
6 But lo, thou hast a pleasure in the trueth, and hast shewed me secrete wisdome.
7 O purge me with Isope, and I shall be cleane: wash thou me, and I shalbe whyter then snowe.
8 Oh let me heare of ioye & gladnesse, that the bones which thou hast broken, maye reioyse.
9 Turne thy face from my synnes, & put oute all my misdedes.
10 Make me a cleane hert, O God, & renue a right sprete within me.
11 Cast me not awaye from thy presence, & take not thy holy sprete from me.
12 O geue me the comforte of thy helpe agayne, and stablish me with thy sprete.
13 Then shall I teache thy wayes vnto the wicked, that sinners may be conuerted vnto the.
14 Deliuer me from bloude giltinesse, O God, thou that art the God of my health, that my tonge may prayse thy righteousnesse.
15 Open my lyppes, O LORD, that my mouth maye shewe thy prayse.
16 For if thou haddest pleasure in sacrifice, I wolde geue it the: but thou delytest not in burntofferinges.
17 The sacryfice of God is a troubled spirit a broken and a contrite hert, O God, shalte thou not despyse.
18 O be fauourable gracyous vnto Syon, that the walles of Ierusalem maye be buylded,
19 For when shalt thou be pleased wyth the sacrifice of ryghtuousnes, with the burntofferinges and oblations: then shal they laye bullockes vpon thine alter.
