Morning prayer, Friday 21st February 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 51
<\/strong>O God, have mercy on me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your inmost being must be renewed, and you must put on the new man<\/em> (Ephesians 4:23-24).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have mercy on me, God, in your kindness. *
In your compassion blot out my offense.
O wash me more and more from my guilt *
and cleanse me from my sin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My offenses truly I know them; *
my sin is always before me
Against you, you alone, have I sinned; *
what is evil in your sight I have done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That you may be justified when you give sentence *
and be without reproach when you judge.
O see, in guilt I was born, *
a sinner was I conceived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed you love truth in the heart; *
then in the secret of my heart teach me wisdom.
O purify me, then I shall be clean; *
O wash me, I shall be whiter than snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make me hear rejoicing and gladness, *
that the bones you have crushed may revive.
From my sins turn away your face *
and blot out all my guilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pure heart create for me, O God, *
put a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from your presence, *
nor deprive me of your holy spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give me again the joy of your help; *
with a spirit of fervor sustain me,
that I may teach transgressors your ways *
and sinners may return to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O rescue me, God, my helper, *
and my tongue shall ring out your goodness.
O Lord, open my lips *
and my mouth shall declare your praise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For in sacrifice you take no delight, *
burnt offering from me you would refuse,
my sacrifice, a contrite spirit. *
A humbled, contrite heart you will not spurn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In your goodness, show favor to Zion: *
rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
Then you will be pleased with lawful sacrifice, *
Holocausts offered on your altar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14787,"template":"","rizors":[],"yoast_head":"\nthen in the secret of my heart teach me wisdom - Behold<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/behold.mt\/en\/talba-bis-salmi\/then-in-the-secret-of-my-heart-teach-me-wisdom\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"then in the secret of my heart teach me wisdom - Behold\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Morning prayer, Friday 21st February 2025 Psalm 51O God, have mercy on me Your inmost being must be renewed, and you must put on the new man (Ephesians 4:23-24).
