PSAL. VI.

LOr•…•…, though thine anger I deserve, in wrath rebuke me not; Nor on me lay thy chastening hand in thy displeasure hot. [verse 2] Lord, I am weak, therefore on me have mercy, and me spare; And heal me, Lord, because thou know'st my bones much vexed are.
[verse 3] My soule is troubled very sore, and vexed vehemently; But, Lord, how long wilt thou delay to cure my misery? [verse 4] Lord, turne thee to thy wonted grace, my soule from griefe set free; And for thy boundlesse mercies sake save, and deliver mee.
[verse 5] For of thee in the house of death they no remembrance have: Who with his tongue shall give thee thanks that sleepeth in the grave? [verse 6] I with my groaning wearied am, while no release appeares; Each night I cause my bed to swim, and wash it with my teares.

[verse 7] Mine eyeconsumed is with griefe, dim now, and old it growes; Because I many troubles beare from all my cruell foes. [verse 8] But now away from me all ye that work iniquity, Because the Lord hath heard the voice of my complaint and cry.
[verse 9] He heard not only the request, and praier of my heart, But it received at my hands, and took it in good part. [verse 10] Let them be sham'd and vexed sore that enemies are to me; Let them returne, and suddenly ashamed let them be.
