HEAR the voice of my humble petition, O Lord, when I cry unto Thee. Behold, Lord, now I am about to search into my own heart; but alas! my heart is deceitful and desperately wicked, who can know it? Thou, therefore, who searchest the heart, and triest the reins, discover to me all the evil and deceit of my own heart, that I may confess, bewail, and forsake them, and obtain mercy. O Lord, hear me; Lord, help rue; for the merits of Jesus my Saviour. Amen.
