- 0. [A prayer of the afflicted when he was ouerwhelmed, <BR />and when he did powre out his petition before the face of God.]
- 1. Heare my prayer O God: and let my crying come in vnto thee.
- 2. Hyde not thy face from me in the day of my distresse: encline thine eare vnto me, heare me spedyly in the day that I call.
- 3. For my dayes are consumed away like smoke: and my bones are burnt vp as though they were a firebrande.
- 4. My heart is smitten downe and wythered lyke grasse: because I did forget to eate my bread.
- 5. Through the noyse of my gronyng: my bones wyll scase cleaue to my fleshe.
- 6. I am become lyke a Pellicane of the wildernesse, and like an Owle that is in the desert:
- 7. I watch, and am as it were a sparrowe that sitteth alone vpon the house toppe.
- 8. Myne enemies reuile me all the day long: and they that are in a rage against me, make their oth by me.
- 9. For I haue eaten asshes as it were bread, and mingled my drynke with weepyng,
- 10. because of thine indignation and wrath: for thou hast set me vp, and cast me downe.
- 11. My dayes fade away lyke a shadowe: and I am wythered lyke grasse.
- 12. But thou O God endurest for euer: and thy remembraunce throughout all generations.
- 13. Thou wylt aryse vp, thou wylt haue compassion vpon Sion: for it is tyme that thou haue mercie vpon her, for the tyme appoynted is come.
- 14. For thy seruauntes be well affected towarde her stones: and it pitieth them to see her in the dust.
- 15. And the heathen wyll feare thy name O God: and all the kynges of the earth thy glorious maiestie.
- 16. For God wyll buylde vp Sion: to be seene in his glorious maiestie.
- 17. He wyll regarde the prayer of the humble destitute of all helpe: and he wyll not dispise their prayer.
- 18. This shalbe written for those that come after: and the people which shalbe borne, shall prayse the Lorde.
- 19. For he hath loked downe from his high sanctuarie: out of heauen did God beholde the earth.
- 20. That he might heare the mourninges of such as be in captiuitie: and delyuer the children of death.
- 21. That they may declare the name of God in Sion: and his prayse at Hierusalem.
- 22. When people were gathered together, & kyngdomes to serue God:
- 23. he afflicted my strength in the way, he shortened my dayes.
- 24. But I say, O my God take me not away in the middest of myne age: as for thy yeres, they endure throughout all generations.
- 25. Thou hast before tyme layde the foundation of the earth: and the heauens are the worke of thy handes.
- 26. They shall perishe, but thou wylt remayne styll: they all shall waxe olde as doth a garment, and as a vesture thou wylt chaunge them, and they shalbe chaunged.
- 27. But thou art, and thy yeres can not fayle:
- 28. the children of thy seruauntes shal dwell, and their seede shalbe maynteyned in thy syght.
