2 Reader: Psalm 142 Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications: In Thy faithfulness anser me, and in Thy righteousness. And enter not into judgment ith Thy servant: For in Thy sight shall no man living be justified. For enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life don to ground; He hath made me to dell in darkness, as those that have been long dead. Therefore is my spirit overhelmed ithin me; my heart ithin me is desolate. I remember days old; I meditate on all Thy orks; I muse on ork Thy hands. I stretch forth my hands unto Thee: my soul thirsteth after Thee, as a thirsty land. Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: Hide not Thy face from me, lest I be like unto m that go don into pit. Cause me to hear Thy lovingkindness in morning; for in Thee do I trust: Cause me to kno ay herein I should alk; for I lift up my soul unto Thee. Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto Thee to hide me. Teach me to do Thy ill; for Thou art my God: Thy spirit is good; lead me into land uprightness. Quicken me, O Lord, for Thy name's sake: For Thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out trouble. And Thy mercy cut f mine enemies, and destroy all m that afflict my soul: For I am Thy servant. O Lord, give ear to my supplications, and enter not into judgment ith Thy servant. O Lord, give ear to my supplications, and enter not into judgment ith Thy servant.

Against Thee only, have I sinned, and done evil in Thy sight: That Thou mightest be justified in Thy ords, and prevail hen Thou art judged. For behold, I as shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mor conceive me. For behold, Thou hast loved truth: The unclear and hidden things Thy isdom Thou hast made clear to me. Thou shalt sprinkle me ith hyssop, and I shall be clean: Thou shalt ash me, and I shall be hiter than sno. Thou shalt make me to hear joy and gladness: The bones hich Thou hast broken shall rejoice. Turn aay Thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and rene a right spirit ithin me.

Then ill I teach transgressors Thy ays; and impious shall be converted unto Thee. Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, Thou God my salvation: And my tongue shall sing aloud Thy righteousness. O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall declare Thy praise. For hadst Thou desired sacrifice, I ould have given it e: Thou delightest not in burnt fering.
