Heal me, for my bones vexed be.
My soul is also vexed sore:Line 3
But, Lord, how long stay wilt thou make?
Return, O Lord, my soul set free:Line 4
O save me for thy mercies sake.
Because those that deceased are,Line 5
Of thee shall no remembrance have:
And who is he that will to thee
Give praises lying in the grave?
I with my groaning weary am,Line 6
I also all the night, my bed
Have caused for to swim, and I
With tears my couch have watered.
Mine eye consum'd with grief growes old,Line 7
Because of all mine enemies.
Hence from me wicked workers all,Line 8
For God hath heard my weeping cryes.
God hath my supplication heard;Line 9
My pray'r received graciously.
Sham'd, and sore vex'd be all my foes,Line 10
Sham'd, and back-turned suddenly.
Another of the same.
IN thy great indignation,
O Lord, rebuke me not;
Nor on the lay thy chastning hand
in thy displeasure hot.
Lord, I am weak, therefore on meLine 2
have mercy, and me spare:
Heal me, O Lord, because thou know'st
my bones much vexed are.

My soul is vexed sore; but, Lord,Line 3
how long stay wilt thou make?
Return, Lord, free my soul, and saveLine 4
me for thy mercies sake.
Because of thee in death there shallLine 5
no more remembrance be:
Of those that in the grave do ly,
who shall give thanks to thee?
I with my groaning weary am,Line 6
and all the night my bed
I caused for to swim: with tears
my couch I watered.
By reason of my vexing grief,Line 7
mine eye consumed is;
It waxeth old, because of all
that be mine enemies.
But now depart from me, all yeLine 8
that work iniquity;
For why, the Lord hath heard my voice,
when I did mourn and cry.
Unto my supplicationLine 9
the Lord did hearing give;
When I to him my prayer make,
the Lord will it receive.
Let all be sham'd, and troubled sore,Line 10
that enemies are to me;
Let them turn back, and suddenly
ashamed let them be.
