[verse 11] Then Lorde depart not now from me in thys my present gryef: Since I haue none to be my helpe, my succor and relyef. [verse 12] So many bulles doo compasse me, that be full strong of head: Yea hulles so fat as though they had, in Basan field be fed.
[verse 13] They gape vpon me gredely. as though they would me slay: Muche like a Lion roring out, and ramping for his praye. [verse 14] But I drop downe lyke water shed, my ioyntes in sunder breake: My hart doeth in my body melt, lyke waxe against the heate.
[verse 15] And like a potshard drithe my strength my tonge it cleaueth fast:

Unto my iawes, and I am brought, to dust of death at last. [verse 16] And many dogges doo compas me, and wicked counsell eke: Conspire against me cursedlie, they pearse my handes and fete.
[verse 17] I was tormented so that I, might all my bones haue folde: yet styll vpon me they doo loke, and still they me beholde: [verse 18] My garments they deuided eke, in partes amonge them all: And for my coate they did cast lottes, to whom it might be fall.
[verse 19] Therfore I pray thee be not farre, fro me at my great nead: But rather sith thou arte my strength, to helpe me (Lorde) make speade. [verse 20] And frō the sword (Lord) saue my soule by thy might and thy powre: And kepe my soule thy darlyng deare, from dogges that would deuoure.
[verse 21] And from the Lions mouth that would me all in sunder shiuer: And from the hornes of Unicornes, Lorde safely me delyuer. [verse 22] And I shall to my brethren all, thy maiestie recorde: And in thy church shall praise the name of thee the liuyng Lorde.
