Rh  Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
 * Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy Spirit from me.
 * Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with a willing spirit.

Then will I teach transgressors thy ways;
 * And sinners shall be converted unto thee.

Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation;
 * And my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

O Lord, open thou my lips;
 * And my mouth shall show forth thy praise.

For thou delightest not in sacrifice; else would I give it;
 * Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit:
 * A broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

SELECTION 20 DELIGHT IN THE LAW OF THE LORD Psalm i LESSED is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked,
 * Nor standeth in the way of shiners, nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:

But his delight is in the law of the Lord;
 * And on his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water,
 * That bringeth forth its fruit in its season.

Whose leaf also doth not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
 * The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
