Hee shall goe to the generation of his fathers, they shall neuer see light.

The righteous also shall see, and feare, and shall laugh at him.

God looked downe from heauen vpon the children of men, to see if there were any that did vnderstand, that did seeke God.

As a snaile which melteth, let euery one of them passe away: like the vntimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sunne.

The God of my mercy shall preuent me; God shall let mee see my desire vpon mine enemies.

To see thy power and thy glory, so as I haue seen thee in the Sanctuary.

They incourage themselues in an euill matter: they commune of laying snares priuily; they say, Who shall see them?

So they shall make their owne tongue to fall vpon themselues: all that see them, shall flee away.

Come and see the workes of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.

O God, thou knowest my foolishnesse; and my sinnes are not hidde from thee. Let not them that waite on thee, O Lord God of hostes, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seeke thee, be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel. Because for thy sake I haue borne reproch: shame hath couered my face. I am become a stranger vnto my brethren, and an aliant vnto my mothers children. For the zeale of thine house hath eaten mee vp; and the reproches of them that reproched thee, are fallen vpon me. When I wept, and chastened my soule with fasting, that was to my reproch. I made sackecloth also my garment: & I became a prouerbe to them. They that sit in the gate, speake against mee; and I was the song of the drunkards. But as for mee, my prayer is vnto thee, O Lord, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercie heare me, in the trueth of thy saluation. Deliuer me out of the mire, and let me not sinke: let me bee deliuered from them that hate me, and out of the deepe waters. Let not the water flood ouerflow me, neither let the deepe swallow mee vp, and let not the pit shut her mouth vpon me. Heare me, O Lord, for thy louing kindnesse is good: turne vnto mee according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. And hide not thy face from thy seruant, for I am in trouble: heare me speedily. Draw nigh vnto my soule, and redeeme it: deliuer me because of mine enemies. Thou hast knowen my reproch and my shame and my dishonor: mine aduersaries are all before thee. Reproch hath broken my heart, and I am full of heauines: and I looked for some to take pitie, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none. They gaue mee also gall for my meat, and in my thirst they gaue mee vineger to drinke. Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should haue bene for their welfare, let it become a trap. Let their eyes be darkened that they see not; and make their loines continually to shake. Powre out thine indignation vpon them, and let thy wrathfull anger take hold of them. Let their habitation be desolate, and let none dwell in their tents. For they persecute him who thou hast smitten, and they talke to the griefe of those whom thou hast wounded. Adde iniquitie vnto their iniquitie: and let them not come into thy righteousnesse. Let them bee blotted out of the booke of the liuing, and not be written with the righteous. But I am poore, and sorowfull: let thy saluation (O God) set me vp on high. I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnifie him with thankesgiuing. This also shall please the Lord better then an oxe or bullocke that hath hornes and hoofes. The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall liue that seeke good. For the Lord heareth the poore, and despiseth not his prisoners. Let the heauen and earth praise him, the seas, and euery thing that moueth therein. For God will saue Sion, and will build the cities of Iudah, that they may dwell there, and haue it in possession. The seede also of his seruants shall inherit it: and they that loue his name shall dwell therein.

We see not our signes, there is no more any prophet, neither is there among vs any that knoweth howe long.

Shew me a token for good, that they which hate me may see it, and bee ashamed: because thou, Lord, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

What man is he that liueth, and shall not see death? shall he deliuer his soule from the hand of the graue? Selah.

Onely with thine eyes shalt thou behold: & see the reward of the wicked.

Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies: and mine eares shall heare my desire of the wicked that rise vp against me.

Yet they say, The Lord shall not see: neither shall the God of Iacob regard it.

He that planted the eare, shall he not heare? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?

The heauens declare his righteousnesse: and all the people see his glory.

That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may reioyce in the gladnesse of thy nation: that I may glory with thine inheritance.

These see the workes of the Lord: and his wonders in the deepe.
