Domine ne. psal. xxxviii. I.H.
¶Sing this as the xxxv. Psalme.
PVt me not to rebuke O Lord,
in thy prouoked ire:
Ne in thy heauy wrath O Lord,
correct me I desire.
[verse 2] Thine arrowes do sticke fast in me,
thy hand doth presse me s••re:
[verse 3] And in my flesh no health at all,
appeareth any more.
And all this is by reason of
thy wrath that I am in:
Nor any rest is in my bones,
by reason of my sinne.
[verse 4] For lot, my wicked doynges Lord,
aboue my head are gone:
As greater lode then I can beare,
they lye me fore vpon.
[verse 5] My woundes stincke and are festred so,
as lothsome is to see:
Which all through myne owne foolishnes,
betydeth vnto mee.
And I in carefull wise am brought
in trouble and distresse:
[verse 6] That I go wayling all the day,
my dolefull heauynesse.
[verse 7] My l••ynes are fild with sore dissease,
my flesh hath no whole part:
[verse 8] I seeble am and broken sore,
I roare for grief of hart.
[verse 9] Thou knowest Lord my desire, my groaues
are open in thy sight:
[verse 10] My hart doth pant, my sight hath faild,
myne eyes haue lost their light.
[verse 11] My louers and my wonted frendes,
stand looking on my woe:
And eke my kinsmen farre away,
are me departed fro.
[verse 12] They that did seeke my life layd snares,
and they that sought the way
To do me hurt spake lyes, and thought
on treason all the day.
The second part.
[verse 13] But as a deafe man I became,
that cannot heare at all:
[verse 14] And as one dumb that opens not
his mouth to speake with all.
[verse 15] For all my confidence O Lord,
is wholly set on thee:
[verse 16] O Lord, thou Lord that art my God,
thou wilt geue eare to mee.
This I did craue that they my foes,
triumph not ouer mee:
[verse 17] For when my foote did slip, then they
did ioy my fall to see.
And truely I poore wretch am set,
in plague a wofull wight:
And eke my griefull beauynes,
is euer in my sight.
[verse 18] For while that I my wickednes,
in humble wise confesse:
And while I for my sinfull deedes,
my sorrow doe expresse.
[verse 19] My foes do still remayne aliue,
and mighty are also:
And they that hate me wrongfully,
in number hugely grow.
[verse 20] They stand agaynst me that my good
with euill doe repay:
Because that good and honest thinges,
I do ensue alway.
[verse 21] Forsake me not O Lord my God,
