A Prayer of a penitent person for remissi∣on of his sinnes.
O Lord rebuke me not in thine indig∣nation: neither chasten me in thy dis∣pleasure.
2 Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am weak: O Lord heal me, for my bones are vered.
3 My soul is also sore troubled: but Lord how long wilt thou punish me?
4 Turn thee, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercies sake.
5 For in death no man remembreth thee: and who will give thee thanks in the pit?
6 I am weary of my groaning, every night wash I my bed: and water my couch with my teares.
7 My beauty is gone for very trouble: & worn away because of all mine enemies.
1 Away from me all ye that work vanity: for the Lord hath heard the voyce of my weeping.
9 The Lord hath heard my petition: the Lord will receive my prayer.
10 All mine enemies shall be confounded and sore vexed: they shall be turned back, & put to shame suddenly.
O Most mercifull God, whose property is al∣waies to have mercy and to forgive, behold with the eyes of thy pitty & compassiō the estate of thy humble servants, made most miserable by reason of our sinnes. Hear the voyce of our weep∣ing, pitty our groaning, strengthen us, for we are weak, heale us, for our bones are vexed, and deli∣ver our soules from death, that being saved from the bottomlesse pit, we may give thanks to thy holy name. O turn from the severity of thy
displeasure, and visit us with thy mercy and salva∣tion. For all our sinnes give us a great sorrow and contrition, and in our `sorrowes let thy comforts sustain us, through Iesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
