A Psalm

A Psalm of Repentance and Hope
1 O God my God
how wicked my deedshave been before You
2 I have laughed in Your face
and mocked Your goodness
3 I lay myself low before You
casting all hope on You
4 I beg of Your mercy
which I have heard of
from the previous generations
5 O Lord Your kindness
is know great and far
6 Your child comes to you now
forgive my transgressions
against You and Your law
7 I will trust in Your mercy and goodness
once more I will cherish Your ways
8 Help me flee evil
and to cling to good
9 To be overwhelmed by Your love
and find delight in Your ways
10 For peace is found in Your presence
and joy in following Your ways
