Wash me still more\r\nfrom mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I\r\nacknowledge mine iniquity, and my sin is ever before me.\r\nAgainst Thee only have I sinned, and done that which is evil\r\nin Thy sight; that Thou mayest be justified in Thy sayings,\r\nand mayest overcome when Thou<a id=\"r80\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f80\"><sup>[80]</sup></a> art judged. For, behold,\r\nI was conceived in transgressions, and in sins did my mother\r\nconceive me. For, behold, Thou hast loved truth; the secret\r\nand hidden things of wisdom hast Thou shown me. Thou\r\nshalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed; Thou\r\nshalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Thou shalt\r\nmake me to hear joy and gladness; my bones, which have\r\nbeen humbled, shall exult. Turn away Thy face from my\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_21\">21</span>sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean\r\nheart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.<a id=\"r81\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f81\"><sup>[81]</sup></a> Cast me\r\nnot away from Thy presence, and take not Thy Holy Spirit\r\nfrom me. Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation, and establish\r\nme by Thy governing Spirit. I will teach transgressors\r\nThy ways, and the ungodly shall be converted unto Thee.\r\nDeliver me from blood-guiltiness,<a id=\"r82\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f82\"><sup>[82]</sup></a> O God, the God of my\r\nsalvation: my tongue shall exult in Thy righteousness. O\r\nLord, Thou shalt open my mouth, and my lips shall show\r\nforth Thy praise. For if Thou hadst desired sacrifice, I\r\nwould have given it; Thou wilt not delight in burnt-offerings.\r\nThe sacrifice [acceptable] to God is a bruised spirit; a broken\r\nand a contrite heart God will not despise.”<a id=\"r83\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f83\"><sup>[83]</sup></a></p>","headings":["The Writings of the Apostolic Fathers","THE FIRST EPISTLE OF CLEMENT.","THE FIRST EPISTLE OF CLEMENT TO THE CORINTHIANS.","Chap. xviii.—David as an example of humility."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg77576-paragraph-62"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"535cf3d649c8d5f1dd69cf2260ab802890c88f1b6136cf17768e5c8b31786d3f","edition_title":"The writings of the Apostolic Fathers","edition_translators":["Alexander Roberts","James Donaldson","Frederick Crombie"],"edition_year":1870,"explicit_reference_candidates":[],"headings":[],"id":"pg77576-f82","license_url":"https://www.gutenberg.org/policy/license.html","public_import_allowed":false,"record_kind":"original-editor-translator-note","review_required":["work and recension attribution","original-work chronology","Bible reference numbering and citation kind","English edition rights and attribution"],"review_status":"needs_review","rights_evidence":"Project Gutenberg metadata: Public domain in the USA.
