The Psalmes Of David In Meeter | ||
PSAL. CII.
O Lord, unto my pray'r give ear,
my cry let come to thee:
And in the day of my distresse
hide not thy face from me:
Give ear to me: what time I cal,
to answer me make haste.
For as an hearth my bones are burnt
my dayes, like smoke, do waste.
my cry let come to thee:
And in the day of my distresse
hide not thy face from me:
Give ear to me: what time I cal,
to answer me make haste.
For as an hearth my bones are burnt
my dayes, like smoke, do waste.
My heart within me smitten is,
and it is withered,
Like very grasse, so that I do
forget to eat my bread.
By reason of my groaning voice,
my bones cleave to my skin,
Like pelican in wildernesse
forsaken I have bin:
and it is withered,
Like very grasse, so that I do
forget to eat my bread.
By reason of my groaning voice,
my bones cleave to my skin,
Like pelican in wildernesse
forsaken I have bin:
I like an owl in desert am,
that nightly there doth moan:
I watch, and like a sparrow am
on the house top alone.
My bitter enemies all the day
reproaches cast on me:
And being mad at me, with rage
against me sworn they be.
that nightly there doth moan:
I watch, and like a sparrow am
on the house top alone.
My bitter enemies all the day
reproaches cast on me:
And being mad at me, with rage
against me sworn they be.
For why, I ashes eaten have,
like bread, in sorrows deep;
My drink I also mingled bave
with tears that I did weep.
Thy wrath and indignation
did cause this grief and pain:
For thou hast lift me up on high,
and cast me down again.

My drink I also mingled bave

Thy wrath and indignation

For thou hast lift me up on high,
and cast me down again.
My dayes are like unto a shade,
which doth declining passe:
And I am dry'd and withered,
ev'n like unto the grasse.
But thou, Lord, everlasting art,
and thy remembrance shal
Continually endure, and be
to generations all.

Thou shalt arise, and mercy have
upon thy Zion yet:
The time to favour her is come,
the time that thou hast set.
For in her rubbish, and her stones
thy servant pleasure take,
Yea, they the very dust thereof
do favour, for her sake.

So shal the heathen people fear
the Lords most holy Name:
And all the Kings on earth shal dread
thy glory, and thy fame
When Zion by the mighty Lord
built up again shal be,
In glory then, and Majesty
to men appear shal He.

The prayer of the destitute
he surely wil regard,
Their prayer wil he not despise,
by him it shal be heard.
For generations yet to come
this shal be on record:
So shal the people that shal be
created, praise the Lord.

He from his Sanctuaries height
hath downward cast his eye,
And from his glorious throne in heaven,
the Lord the earth did spy:
That of the mournful prisoner
the groanings he might hear,
To set them free that unto death
by men appointed are:

the Lords most holy Name,
And publish in Jerusalem
the praises of the same:
When as the people gather shall
in troups with one accord,
When Kingdoms shall assembled be
to serve the highest Lord.

My wonted force, & strength he hath
abated in the way;
And he my dayes hath shortened:
Thus therefore did I say,
My God, in mid-time of my dayes,
take thou me not away:
From age to age, eternally
thy years endure and stay.

The firm foundation of the earth
of old time thou hast laid:
The heavens also are the work
which thine own hands have made
Thou shalt for evermore endure,
but they shall perish all;
Yea, every one of them wax old,
like to a garment, shall:
