¶ The argument of the .xiij. Psalme
Dauid complayneth that God seemeth to forget hym in his afflictions, He maketh his prayer, and declareth his trust to be in God.
To the chiefe musition, a Psalme of Dauid.
[unspec A] 1 HOwe long wylt thou forget me O God, for euer? howe long wilt thou hyde thy face from me?
2 Howe long shall I seke counsayle in my soule, and be so vexed in mine heart euery day? howe long shall myne ene∣mie triumph ouer me?
3 Loke downe and heare me O God my Lorde: lighten myne eyes, lest that I sleepe in death.
4 Lest myne enemie say, I haue pre∣uayled [unspec B] agaynst hym: lest they that trouble me reioyce yf I shoulde (b) be re∣moued.
5 But I repose my trust in thy mercie, and my heart is ioyfull in thy saluation: I wyll syng to God, because he hath re∣warded me.
