 | The teares or lamentations of a sorrowfull Soule |  |
Psalme. 32.
1
Blest is he, whose vnrighteousnes,the Lord hath pardoned and bin:
So carefull of, in his distresse,
to hide and couer all his sinne.
2
O blessed is that man againe,to whom the Lord imputes no fault:
And in whose spr'it no guile doth raigne,
his soule with error to assault.
3
Whilst I in silence yet forbore,my flesh with languor gan to faint:
And all my bones to nothing wore,
by reason of my dayly plaint.
4
Thy heauy hand doth make me quaile,and tremble too, both night and day:
My heart and soule with drynes faile,
my moysture is consum'd away.
155
5
My fault's to thee, I will vnfould,to God my sinnes I haue expos'd:
As vnto him the truth I tould,
so he with mercy me enclos'd.
6
Therefore to thee, the pure shall pray,in season due, with zealous ground:
For in the floods there is no stay,
in waters deepe thou art not found.
7
Thou art my stocke and stay secure,with songs of ioy I am confin'd:
Thou art my rocke and countermure,
from all annoy I am enshrin'd.
8
I will instruct thee in thy way,my eye shall euer be thy guide:
That thou maist neuer erre nor stray,
nor yet thy foot-steps once to slide.
9
Be not like to the Mule disturb'd,that reason doth not vnderstand:
Nor to the horse which must be curb'd,
before thou canst his force commaund.
10
Sorrow and woe remaine for those,that wicked are and loue discord:
But mercy still shall him enclose,
which puts his trust in God the Lord.
11
Be ioyfull O yee righteous then,lift vp your soules with cheerefull voice:
All yee that are pure hearted men,
in great Iehouah, still reioyce.
FINIS.
