PSAL. LXIX.
Save me, O God, because the flouds
do so environ me,
That ev'n into my very soul
come in the waters be.
I downward in deep mire do sink
where standing there is none:
I am into deep waters come,
where flouds have o're me gone.
do so environ me,
That ev'n into my very soul
come in the waters be.
I downward in deep mire do sink
where standing there is none:
I am into deep waters come,
where flouds have o're me gone.
I weary with my crying am,
my throat is also dry'd;
Mine eyes do fail, while for my God
I waiting do abide.
Those men that do without a cause
bear hatred unto me
Then are the hairs upon my head,
in number moe they be:
my throat is also dry'd;
Mine eyes do fail, while for my God
I waiting do abide.
Those men that do without a cause
bear hatred unto me
Then are the hairs upon my head,
in number moe they be:
They that would me destroy, and are
mine enemies wrongfully
Are mighty: so, what I took not,
to render forc'd was I.
Lord, thou my folly know'st, my sins
not covered are from thee.
Let none that wait on thee besham'd
Lord, God of hosts, for mee.

to render forc'd was I.
Lord, thou my folly know'st, my sins
not covered are from thee.
Let none that wait on thee besham'd
Lord, God of hosts, for mee.
O Lord, the God of Israel,
let none, who search do make
And seek thee, be at any time
confounded for my sake.
For I have born reproach for thee,
my face is hid with shame.
To brethren strange, to mothers sons
an alien I became.

For I have born reproach for thee,

To brethren strange, to mothers sons

Because the zeal did eat me up
which to thy House I bare;
And the reproaches cast at thee,
upon me fallen are.
My tears and fasts t'afflict my soul
were turned to my shame.
When sackcloth I did wear, to them
a proverb I became.

The men, that in the gate do sit,
against me evill spake;
They also, that vile drunkards were,
of me their song did make.
But in an acceptable time
my pray'r, Lord, is to thee:
In truth of thy salvation, Lord,
and mercy great, hear me.

But in an acceptable time

In truth of thy salvation, Lord,

Deliver me out of the mire,
from sinking do me keep;
Free me from those that do me hate,
and from the waters deep.
Let not the floud on me prevail,
whose water overflows;
Nor deep me swallow, nor the pit
her mouth upon me close.

Hear me, O Lord, because thy love
and kindnesse is most good;
Turn unto me, according to
thy mercies multitude.
Nor from thy servant hide thy face,
I'm troubled, soon attend.
Draw neer my soul, and it redeem,
me from my foes defend.

To thee is my reproach wel known,
my shame, and my disgrace:
Those that mine adversaries be,
are all before thy face.
Reproach hath broke my heart, I'm ful
of grief; I look'd for one
To pity me, but none I found;
comforters found I none.

They also bitter gall did give
unto me for my meat:
They gave me vineger to drink,
when as my thirst was great.
Before them let their table prove
a snare; and do thou make
Their welfare and prosperitie
a trap themselves to take.

Let thou their eyes so darkned be,
that sight may them forsake;
And let their loins be made by thee
continually to shake.
Thy fury pour thou out on them,
and indignation;
And let thy wrathfull anger, Lord,
fast hold take them upon.

All waste and desolate let be.

And in their tabernacles all
inhabitants be none.
Because him they do persecute,
whom thou didst smite before;
They talk unto the grief of those
whom thou hast wounded sore.

Adde thou iniquity unto
their former wickednesse:
And do not let them come at all
into thy righteousnesse.
Out of the book of life let them
be raz'd, and blotted quite;
Among the just and righteous
let not their names be writ.

But now, become exceeding poor,
and sorrowful am I:
By thy salvation, O my God,
let mee be set on hie.
The Name of God, I, with a song
most chearfully wil praise;
And I, in giving thanks to him,
his Name shal highly raise.

This to the Lord a sacrifice
more gracious shal prove,
Then bullock, ox, or any beast
that hath both horn and hoof.
When this the humble menshal see
it joy to them shal give:
O all ye, that do seek the Lord,
your heart shal ever live.

For, God the poor hears, & wil not
his prisoners contemn.
Let heav'n, & earth, & seas him praise,
and all that move in them.
For God wil Judah's cities build,
and he wil Sion save;
That they may dwel therein, and it
in sure possession have.
