Psal. 6. Domine, ne in furore.

Ad Præstantem, in Neghinoth, super Octavam.

Psalmus David.

1

My faults, let no reproofe of thine,
Lord, in thy wrath repeat;
Nor chastise any crime of mine
in thy displeasures heat.

2

Have mercy, Lord; for I am weake,
Lord, heale me: else in vaine
My bones, with horrour shook, shall speake
the language of my paine.

3

My soule is also troubled sore;
and though my pangs be strong,
My soule-sicke sorrow paines me more,
but Thou, O Lord, how long!

4

Returne, O Lord, and at thy cost
my soules deliverance cleere:
O save my life, that am but lost,
but for thy mercie meere.

8

5

For none in death remembrance have
upon thy Name to dwell:
And who so thankfull in the grave,
as of thy praise to tell?

6

The languor that my groanes have bred,
my melting spirits out-weares:
To swimme all night I make my bed,
and drowne my couch in teares.

7

Mine eye gnawne out with anguish dies,
my beautie to behold,
(Because of all mine enemies)
growne wanne, and waxen old.

8

From mee, ye wicked doers all,
with all your deeds forbeare:
The Lord hath heard my voices call,
my teares have touch't his eare.

9

The Lord hath heard how I complain'd,
and with my praier is pleas'd;
My suit the Lord hath entertain'd,
my painfull suffrings eas'd.

10

Shame and confusion out of hand
on all my haters light:
And on their backes entrench the brand
of their reproachfull flight.
