THE JESUS PSALTER

The Psalter consists of three parts, each part having five petitions. Each petition is followed by "Have mercy on all sinners ..." and the last petition of each part, that is the fifth, tenth, and fifteenth petitions have an added prayer at the end.

We have placed each petition on its own page, with the first petition on this page. The back jewel scroll of each page brings you back here and the forward advances you to the next petition.

[FIRST PETITION]    [SECOND PETITION]    [THIRD PETITION]    [FOURTH PETITION]
[FIFTH PETITION]    [SIXTH PETITION]    [SEVENTH PETITION]    [EIGHTH PETITION]
[NINTH PETITION]    [TENTH PETITION]    [ELEVENTH PETITION]
[TWELFTH PETITION]    [THIRTEENTH PETITION]    [FOURTEENTH PETITION]
[FIFTEENTH PETITION]
 

THE FIRST PART

Begin by kneeling devoutly, or bowing, at the adorable Name of Jesus, saying:
That in the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth:
And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.

[Philippians 2: 10-11]

THE SECOND PART

Jesus, have mercy on me, O God of compassion, and forgive the many
and great offenses which I have committed in Thy sight. Many have been
the follies of my life, and great are the miseries which I have deserved for
my ingratitude.

Have mercy on me, dear Jesus, for I am weak;
O Lord, heal me, who am unable to help myself.

Deliver me from setting my heart upon any of Thy creatures,
which may divert my eyes from a continual looking up to Thee.
Grant me grace henceforth, for the love of Thee, to hate sin; and
out of a just esteem for Thee, to despise all worldly vanities.

Have mercy on all sinners, Jesus, I beseech Thee; turn their vices into virtues;
and, making them true observers of Thy law and sincere lovers of Thee,
bring to them bliss in everlasting glory.

Have mercy also on the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for Thy bitter Passion,
 I beseech Thee, and for Thy glorious Name, Jesus.
O Blessed Trinity, One Eternal God, have mercy on me.

Our Father, Hail Mary
