1
To God, in my distresse,With cryes I did addresse
My sute; He favor shew.
2
From lipps enclin'd to ly,From tongs that double bee,
My soule, O Lord, rescue.
3
What shall to thee be given,Or retribute that eavin
Wnto thy venome wer,
O thow deceatfull tonge?
4
Sharp arows of the strong,With coals of juniper.
5
Ah woes me! for why,A wearie pilgrime I
In Meshech mourneing stray.
Ah woes me, so long
That Kedar's tents among,
A stranger I do stay!
6
My soule hath haunted much,And duelt with such
As peace did highlie hate.
7
Of peace whil I did speek,And quietnes did seek,
Thē streght they vrg'd debate.
