EXAMINATION OF CONSCIENCE
PSALM 51
Have mercy on me, oh lord for I have sinned. In your compassion, blot out my offence. O wash me more
and more from my guilt and cleanse me from my sins, my offences truly I know them, my sin is always
before me, against you, you alone, have I sinned, what is evil in your sight I have done; that you may be
justified when you give sentence and be without reproach when you judge, oh see, in guilt, I was born, a
sinner was I conceived indeed you love truth in the heart, then in the secret of my heart teach me
wisdom, oh purify me, I shall be clean, wash me, I shall be whiter than snow, make me hear rejoicing and
gladness, that the bones you have crushed may thrill. From my sins, turn away your face and blot out all
my guilt. A pure heart creates for me, oh God, put a steadfast spirit within me, do not cast me away from
your presence, nor deprive me of your holy spirit, give me again the joy of your help, with a spirit of
favour sustains me, that I may teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you. Oh, rescue
me, God, my helper, and my tongue ring out your goodness. O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall
declare your praise. For in sacrifices, you take no delight, burnt offering from me you would refuse; my
sacrifice is a contrite spirit. A humbled, contrite heart you will not spurn. In your goodness, show favour to
Zion, Rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, then you will be pleased with lawful sacrifice (burnt offering wholly
consumed), then you will be offered a young bull on your altar. Glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be world without end. Amen
