[Chastised and afflicted below]

Howbeit He will not stretch out His hand, &c. —xxx. 24.

Chastised and afflicted below,
A sinner I cannot complain,
But pass through the valley of woe,
And stoop to my burden of pain:
And here if my judgment I have,
His anger He will not extend,
But lay me to rest in my grave
With mercy that never shall end.
