OFFICE OF THE DEAD

and I shall be cleansed: * Thou wilt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
To my hearing Thou wilt give joy and gladness: * and the bones that are humbled shall rejoice.
Turn away Thy face from my sins,* and blot out all my iniquities.
Create a clean heart in me, O God: * and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from Thy face; * and take not Thy holy spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation; * and strengthen me with a perfect spirit.
I will teach the unjust Thy ways; * and the wicked shall be converted to Thee.
Deliver me from blood, O God, Thou God of my salvation: * and my tongue shall extol Thy justice.
O Lord, Thou wilt open my lips: * and my tongue shall declare Thy praise.
