The sorrows of my heart are inlar∣ged, O bring thou me out of my troubles. Look upon mine adversi∣tie and miserie, and forgive me all my sins, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Hear my crying, O God, * 1.2 give ear unto my Prayer. From the ends of the earth, whither soever thou shalt cast me, I will call upon thee when my heart is in heaviness. O set me upon the Rock that is higher than I, to be my hope and a strong tower a∣gainst my oppressors. Amen.
Save me, O God, for * 1.3 the waters are entred into my Soul. I stick fast in the deep mire where no stay is; I am come into deep waters, and the streams run over me. They that hate me without a cause, are more than the hairs of my head; and they which would destroy me cause∣less, are mightie. O let not these water-floods drown me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

Hear me, O Lord, for thy loving kindness is great; turn unto me ac∣cording to the multitude of thy ten∣der mercies. Hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in trouble; but draw near unto my soul, and redeem it, for Jesus Christ his sake. Amen.
My soul melteth away * 1.4 for very heaviness; com∣fort thou me according to thy Word.
Amen.
