Nor correct me in your anger. Psalm 6. I said, "I will confess my injustice against myself to the Lord," and you forgave the wickedness of my heart.✦ Ps.1 32. 6. Lord, all my desire is before you, and my sighing is not hidden from you.✦ Have mercy on me, God, according to your great mercy, and according to the abundance of your mercies blot out my iniquity.✦ You will rise and have mercy on me, Lord, for it is time to have mercy on me, for the time has come. If you keep account of iniquities, Lord, Lord, who can stand?2 Do not enter into judgment with your servant, for no one living will be justified in your sight. Ps. 142.3 2. Í4 I lift up my hands to your commandments, which I have loved.5 Open my eyes, that I may understand.6 Verse. 18. Incline my heart, that I may love.

Read the original Latin

Neque in ira tua corripias me. Psal vi. 1: Dixi, Confitebor adversum me Injustitiam meam Domino, et Tu remisisti impietatem cordis mei. Psa/. xxxii. 6. Domine, ante te omne desiderium meum, Et gemitus meus a te non est absconditus. Miserere mei, Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam, Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum Dele iniquitatem meam.

Tu exsurgens misereberis mei, Domine, Quia tempus mei miserendi, Quia venit tempus. 8i iniquitates observaveris, Domine, Domine, quis sustinebit? Non intres in judicium cum servo tuo, Quia non justificabitur in conspectu tuo omnis vivens. Psal. cxhii. 2. Í

Attolo manus meas Ad mandata tua, quee dilexi. Revela oculos meos, et intelhgam. — Vers. 18. Inclina cor meum, et diligam. Vers. 536. Dirige gressus meos, et incedam In via mandatorum tuorum.

Vers. 133. Domine Deus, esto tu mihi Deus, Extra te autem ne sit mihi alus; Nemo alius, nihil aliud tecum. | Psa/, lxxii. 25.] Da mihi adorare te, et servire tibi, In veritatis spiritu, ὧδ. iv, 24.

Scripture echoes

  1. ↩Ps.32.5 — I acknowledged my sin to you, and my iniquity I did not hide. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD," and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
  2. ↩Ps.38.10 — Lord, before you is all my longing, and my groaning has not been hidden from you.
  3. ↩Ps.51.3 — Be gracious to me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy, blot out my transgressions.
  4. ↩John.4.24 — God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.

Notes

  1. 1 ↩Source form Psa/. is truncated/corrupt; rendered as the psalm abbreviation Ps.
  2. 2 ↩Source begins '8i iniquitates'; most plausible intended reading is 'Si iniquitates' (If you...).
  3. 3 ↩Source 'cxhii.' is almost certainly a misreading of Roman 'cxlii.' (142), matching the preceding Ps 142:2 petition.
  4. 4 ↩Lone accented capital 'Í' has no clear lexical content; may be a stray initial, drop-cap remnant, or typesetting artifact.
  5. 5 ↩Reading Attolo as Attollo and quee as quae (OCR/print corruption).
  6. 6 ↩Reading intelhgam as intelligam (OCR/print corruption).
  7. 7 ↩Printed 536. is almost certainly OCR/print corruption of verse 36 (Ps 118/119:36 with the preceding Inclina cor meum).
  8. 8 ↩Normalized reading takes source alus as alius (“another/other”), confirmed by the parallel Nemo alius in the same sentence.
  9. 9 ↩Source apparatus is garbled (| Psa/, lxxii.); rendered as a Psalm 72 (Vulgate) citation.
  10. 10 ↩Trailing ὧδ. is treated as a corrupted book abbreviation (likely Joh./Io. for John), completed by s7 (iv, 24); it is not rendered in the prayer line.
