Psal. 6.

[_]

As the 50. Psalme; The mighty God, &c.

1

Let mee not Lord

be in thy wrath reproued:
Oh! scourge mee not
when thy fierce rage is moued.


2

Pity mee, Lord,

that do with languor pine:
Heale mee whose bones
with paine dissolued bin;

3

Whose weary soule

is vexed aboue measure.
Oh Lord how long
shall I 'bids thy displeasure!

4

Turne thee O Lord,

rescue my soule distrest;

5

And saue me, of thy grace.

Mongst those that rest,
In silent death
can none remember thee:
And in the graue
how shouldst thou praised be?

6

Weary with sighs,

all night I caus'd my bed


To swim: with teares
my couch I watered.

7

Deepe sorrow hath

consum'd my dimmed eyne,
Sunk in with griefe
at these leud foes of mine:

8

But now hence, hence,

vaine plotters of mine ill:
The Lord hath heard
my lamentations shrill;

9

God heard my suit

and still attends the same:

10

Blush now, my foes,

and fly with sudden shame.
