Gods Providence Davids Troubles.

Davids

• Adversaries DAily encreased: His Enemies were exalted,* 1.1
• Body Was weake, and powred out like Water,
• Bones Were out of joynt, consumed and cut asunder,* 1.2
• Belly Was wasted with griefe: his eyes dimme of sight,
• Flesh Lost his fatnesse, his knees were weake with fasting,* 1.3
• Friends Forsooke him: his familiars lifted their heeles against him,
• Garments Were Sackcloth about his loynes to cover him,
• Heart Panted, his life wasted, and soule was troubled,
• Spirit Was full of anguish, his throate dryed with crying,* 1.4
• Yeares Consumed in mourning, his words were grievous to him,
• Moisture Was like the drought in the heate of Summer,
• Name Became a Proverb, and his Person a wonder.

So that

• Abjects Scoffers and Drunkards derided him,* 1.5
• Sorrowes Of Death and H••ll with Enemies compassed him,
• Floudes Of ungodly men feared him: Confusion was before him,
• Trembling Came upon him, Horrour and Dread overwhelmed him,
• Gods Hand Was heavy upon him: Continuall plagues followed him.
• Such yet was Gods Providence over him, as that he overcame* 1.6 all his adversaries and was setled in his Kingdome.
