Lorde

Let my request, I the besech, be present in thy syght.

Bowe downe thyne eare vnto my cry, for my soule hath hir fyll:
And my lyfe is brought to ye graue, through the plentie of ill.

As one fre from all maner thynges that to thys lyfe belonge:
I am accompted emonge them, whom fatall death hath stonge.
I am accompted emonge them, whom fatall death hath stonge.
I am I saye lyke to the deade, that in the graue do slepe:
Of whō there is no memorie, ne doeth thyne hand them kepe.
Of whō there is no memorie, ne doeth thyne hand them kepe.
In the lower pyt of troubles, Lord thou hast placed me:
In places that are darcke & depe so hath it, pleased the.

Thy feruent indignation, hath quelled me well most:
Thou hast cast out thy pore seruaunt, in troubles to be toste.
Thou hast cast out thy pore seruaunt, in troubles to be toste.
Thou haste caused myne acquayntaunce, to flye far of from me:
And through thy meanes they do abhor, thy pore seruant to se.
I am enclosed in suche wyse and hedged rounde about:
That I ne can by any meanes, fynde ishue or waye out.

Through sore payne and afliction, myne eye syght fayleth me:
O Lorde I call and crie all daye, and lyfte myne handes to the.
O Lorde I call and crie all daye, and lyfte myne handes to the.
And doest thou shewe wonders to them that in the graue do lye?
Or shall the deade arise agayne, and prayse the worthyly?
Or shall the deade arise agayne, and prayse the worthyly?
And shall thy mercie and goodnes be preached in the graue?
Or thy fayth in destruction, wher none hath mynde to craue?
Or thy fayth in destruction, wher none hath mynde to craue?
Or shall thy wonders be well knowen in places darke and blynd?
Or thy iustice in such a place, where nothing is in mynde?
Or thy iustice in such a place, where nothing is in mynde?
But I (thy pore seruant) haue cried to the (O Lorde) I saye:
And my prayer shall the preuēt in the spryng of the daye.
And my prayer shall the preuēt in the spryng of the daye.
O Lord whye doest thou put me backe, and my pore soule repell?
Wylt thou (Lord) hyde thy face from me, and shewe thy selfe cruell?
Wylt thou (Lord) hyde thy face from me, and shewe thy selfe cruell?
Wretched am I, and from my youth haue ben styll at deathes dore:
And wyth perplex and doubtfull mynde I sustayne thy terrour.
And wyth perplex and doubtfull mynde I sustayne thy terrour.
Thy furies and rageynge angers, haue gone ouer me quite:
And thy terrours and great threatnynges, haue kylled me downryght.
And thy terrours and great threatnynges, haue kylled me downryght.
They haue dayly enuironed, and beset me about:
And to gyrd me in togither, they haue not stand in doubt.
And to gyrd me in togither, they haue not stand in doubt.
My friendes thou haste set far from me, & eke my neyghbours all:
And haste caused myne acquayntaunce into darcknes to fall.
And haste caused myne acquayntaunce into darcknes to fall.
