22The image of thy countenance,
23The price of thy blood,
24A name from thy Name,
25A sheep of thy pasture,
26A son of the covenant.
27The works of thine own hands despise thou not.

29Hast thou made it for nought?
30For nought, if thou destroy it.

2I said, I will confess against myself
3mine iniquity unto the Lord,
4And thou forgavest the ungodliness of my heart.
5Lord, all my desire is before thee,
6And my groaning is not hid from thee;
7Have mercy upon me, O God, after thy great
8mercy,
9And according to the multitude of thy compassions
10Blot out mine offence.
11Thou shalt arise and have pity upon me, O Lord,
12For it is time to pity me,
13For the time is come.
14If thou shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord,
15O Lord, who shall stand?
16Enter not into judgment with thy servant,
17For in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
18I LIFT UP my hands
19Unto thy commandments, which I have loved.
20Open thou mine eyes, and I shall perceive,
21Incline thou my heart, and I shall long,
22Order thou my steps, and I shall walk
23In the path of thy commandments.
24O Lord God, be thou to me a God,
