[verse 13] But as a deaf man I became, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 that cannot hear at all: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 14] And as one dumb, that opens not 〈♫〉〈♫〉 his mouth to speak withal. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 15] For all my confidence O Lord 〈♫〉〈♫〉 is wholly set on thee: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 O Lord, thou Lord, that art my God, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 thou shalt give ear to me. 〈♫〉〈♫〉

[verse 16] This did I crave, that they my foes 〈♫〉〈♫〉 triumph not over me 〈♫〉〈♫〉 For when my foot did slip, then they 〈♫〉〈♫〉 did joy my fall to see. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 17] And truly I poor wretch am set 〈♫〉〈♫〉 in place a woful wight: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 And eke my grievous heaviness is ever in my sight. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 18] For while that I my wickedness 〈♫〉〈♫〉 in humble wise confess: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 And while I for my sinful deeds 〈♫〉〈♫〉 my sorrows do express: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 19] my foes do still re∣main alive, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 and mighty are also: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 And they that hate me wrongfully, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 in number hugely grow. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 20] They stand against me that my good 〈♫〉〈♫〉 with evil do repay: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 Because that good and honest things 〈♫〉〈♫〉 I do ensue alway. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 21] Forsake me not O Lord my God, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 be thou not far away: 〈♫〉〈♫〉 [verse 22] Haste me to help, my Lord, my God, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 my safety and my stay. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
