a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise

Psalm 51. 7

See my soul perk up,seize again her ownlowliness. Drape hercomeliness, now sublime,in tatters and tears. Dropthe hard shell of vindicationoppressing her, the girdingof worth. What's brokenand contrite, she'llwear that well. [End Page 267]
