Psalm 51:3-17
3 Be merciful to me, O God, according to your great mercy. And, according to the plentitude of your compassion, wipe out my iniquity. 4 Wash me once again from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 5 For I know my iniquity, and my sin is ever before me. 6 Against you only have I sinned, and I have done evil before your eyes. And so, you are justified in your words, and you will prevail when you give judgment. 7 For behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sinfulness did my mother conceive me. 8 For behold, you have loved truth. The obscure and hidden things of your wisdom, you have manifested to me. 9 You will sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed. You will wash me, and I will be made whiter than snow. 10 In my hearing, you will grant gladness and rejoicing. And the bones that have been humbled will exult. 11 Turn your face away from my sins, and erase all my iniquities. 12 Create a clean heart in me, O God. And renew an upright spirit within my inmost being. 13 Do not cast me away from your face; and do not take your Holy Spirit from me. 14 Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and confirm me with an unsurpassed spirit. 15 I will teach the unjust your ways, and the impious will be converted to you. 16 Free me from blood, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue will extol your justice. 17 O Lord, you will open my lips, and my mouth will announce your praise. Genesis 2:7-9; 3:1-7 7 And then the Lord God formed man from the clay of the earth, and he breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul. 8 Now the Lord God had planted a Paradise of enjoyment from the beginning. In it, he placed the man whom he had formed. 9 And from the soil the Lord God produced every tree that was beautiful to behold and pleasant to eat. And even the tree of life was in the midst of Paradise, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 1 However, the serpent was more crafty than any of the creatures of the earth that the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, "Why has God instructed you, that you should not eat from every tree of Paradise?" 2 The woman responded to him: "From the fruit of the trees which are in Paradise, we eat. 3 Yet truly, from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of Paradise, God has instructed us that we should not eat, and that we should not touch it, lest perhaps we may die." 4 Then the serpent said to the woman: "By no means will you die a death. 5 For God knows that, on whatever day you will eat from it, your eyes will be opened; and you will be like gods, knowing good and evil." 6 And so the woman saw that the tree was good to eat, and beautiful to the eyes, and delightful to consider. And she took from its fruit, and she ate. And she gave to her husband, who ate. 7 And the eyes of them both were opened. And when they realized themselves to be naked, they joined together fig leaves and made coverings for themselves.
