Mi-

Mi-

A. HAVE MERCY ON ME ...

C. So, Lord, you are justified in your sentence

A. AND BLAMELESS IN ALL YOUR JUDGEMENTS.

C. Behold I was brought forth in iniquity

Mi-

C. It is you, Lord, who desires truth in the inmost being:

A. THEREFORE TEACH ME WISDOM IN MY SECRET HEART.

C. Cleanse me with hyssop and I shall be clean,

A. WASH ME AND I SHALL BE WHITER THAN SNOW.

Mi-

C. Fill me with joy and gladness,

A. LET THE BONES YOU HAVE CRUSHED REJOICE AGAIN.

C. Hide your face from my sin,

A. BLOT OUT ALL MY INIQUITIES.

Mi-

A. HAVE MERCY ON ME ...

C. Restore to me the joy of your salvation

A. AND UPHOLD ME WITH A WILLING SPIRIT;

C. then I will teach transgressors your ways

A. AND SINNERS WILL RETURN TO YOU.

Mi-

A. HAVE MERCY ON ME ...
