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 in the pulldown
menu below, with the first petition on this page. For those of you without
java-enabled browsers the links are also listed here in text format; the
back button of each page brings you back here and the forward button advances
you to the next 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

have mercy on me. |
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
