THE

SEVEN PENITENTIAL PSALMS.

Proper to be recited on Fasting-days, and at other penitential times.

Anth. Remember not, O Lord, our offences, nor those of our parents; and take not revenge on our sins.

Psalm vi. Domine ne in furore.

1 David, in deep affliction, prays for a mitigation of the divine anger, 4 in consideration of God's mercy, 5 glory, 6 his own repentance, 8 by faith triumphs over his enemies.

1 O Lord, rebuke me not in thy indignation, nor chastise me in thy wrath.

2 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled. 3 And my soul is troubled exceedingly: but thou, O Lord, how long.

4 Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul; O save me, for thy mercy's sake.

5 For there is no one in death that is mindful of thee: and who shall confess to thee in hell?

6 I have laboured in my groaning; every night I will wash my bed, I will water my couch with my tears,

7 Mine eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old among all mine enemies.

8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping. 9 The Lord hath heard my supplication: the Lord hath received my prayer.

10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and be very much troubled: let them be turned back, and be ashamed very speedily. Glory, &c.

Psalm xxxi. Beati quorum.

1 Blessings of remission of sins, 3 misery of impenitence, 6 confession of sins bringeth ease, 8 safety, 14 joy.

1 Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

3 Because I was silent, my bones grew old; whilst I cried out all the day long.

4 For day and night thy hand lay heavy upon me: I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.

5 I have acknowledged my sin to thee; and my injustice I have not concealed.

6 I said, I will confess against myself mine injustice to the Lord; and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.

7 For this shall every one that is holy, pray to thee in a seasonable time.
