Haue mercy vpon me, O Lord, for I am weake: O Lord heale mee, for my bones are vexed.

I am weary with my groning, all the night make I my bed to swim: I water my couch with my teares.

Least mine enimie say, I haue preuailed against him: and those that trouble mee, reioyce, when I am moued.

Thou hast prooued mine heart, thou hast visited me in the night, thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing: I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgresse.

O my God, I crie in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

But I am a worme, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

I am powred out like water, and all my bones are out of ioynt: my heart is like waxe, it is melted in the middest of my bowels.

Turne thee vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: for I am desolate and afflicted.

The Lord is my strength, and my shield, my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly reioyceth, and with my song will I praise him.

Haue mercy vpon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble; mine eie is consumed with griefe, yea my soule and my belly.

I am forgotten as a dead man out of minde: I am like a broken vessell.

For I sayd in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eies: Neuerthelesse thou heardest the voice of my supplications, when I cryed vnto thee.

Draw out also the speare, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say vnto my soule, I am thy saluation.

I haue bene yong, and now am old; yet haue I not seene the righteous forsaken, nor his seede begging bread.

I am troubled, I am bowed downe greatly; I goe mourning all the day long.

I am feeble and sore broken; I haue roared by reason of the disquietnesse of my heart.

For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.

Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my dayes, what it is: that I may know how fraile I am.

Remooue thy stroke away from mee: I am consumed by the blowe of thine hand.

Heare my prayer, O Lord, and giue eare vnto my crie, hold not thy peace at my teares: for I am a straunger with thee, and a soiourner, as all my fathers were.
