1 Have mercy on me, O God, in your great goodness; ♦︎
according to the abundance of your compassion
blot out my offences.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my wickedness ♦︎
and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my faults ♦︎
and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against you only have I sinned ♦︎
and done what is evil in your sight,
5 So that you are justified in your sentence ♦︎
and righteous in your judgement.
6 I have been wicked even from my birth, ♦︎
a sinner when my mother conceived me.
7 Behold, you desire truth deep within me ♦︎
and shall make me understand wisdom
in the depths of my heart.
8 Purge me with hyssop and I shall be clean; ♦︎
wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.
9 Make me hear of joy and gladness, ♦︎
that the bones you have broken may rejoice.
10 Turn your face from my sins ♦︎
and blot out all my misdeeds.
11 Make me a clean heart, O God, ♦︎
and renew a right spirit within me.
12 Cast me not away from your presence ♦︎
and take not your holy spirit from me.

2 O Lord, I have heard of your renown,
and I stand in awe, O Lord, of your work.
In our own time revive it;
in our own time make it known;
in wrath may you remember mercy.
3 God came from Teman,
the Holy One from Mount Paran.
Selah
His glory covered the heavens,
and the earth was full of his praise.
4 The brightness was like the sun;
rays came forth from his hand,
where his power lay hidden.
5 Before him went pestilence,
and plague followed close behind.
6 He stopped and shook the earth;
he looked and made the nations tremble.
The eternal mountains were shattered;
along his ancient pathways
the everlasting hills sank low.
7 I saw the tents of Cushan under affliction;
the tent-curtains of the land of Midian trembled.
8 Was your wrath against the rivers,* O Lord?
Or your anger against the rivers,*
or your rage against the sea,*
when you drove your horses,
your chariots to victory?
9 You brandished your naked bow,
sated* were the arrows at your command.*
Selah
You split the earth with rivers.
10 The mountains saw you, and writhed;
a torrent of water swept by;
the deep gave forth its voice.
The sun* raised high its hands;
11 the moon* stood still in its exalted place,
at the light of your arrows speeding by,
at the gleam of your flashing spear.
12 In fury you trod the earth,
in anger you trampled nations.
13 You came forth to save your people,
to save your anointed.
You crushed the head of the wicked house,
laying it bare from foundation to roof.*
Selah

12Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, the home of Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. 2There they gave a dinner for him. Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those at the table with him. 3Mary took a pound of costly perfume made of pure nard, anointed Jesus feet, and wiped them* with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. 4But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (the one who was about to betray him), said, 5Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii* and the money given to the poor? 6(He said this not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief; he kept the common purse and used to steal what was put into it.) 7Jesus said, Leave her alone. She bought it* so that she might keep it for the day of my burial. 8You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me.
9 When the great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, they came not only because of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. 10So the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death as well, 11since it was on account of him that many of the Jews were deserting and were believing in Jesus.
