[To the chiefe musition on Neginoth vpon eyght,
a psalme of Dauid.]
1
O God rebuke me not in thine indignation: neither chasten me in thy wrath.
2
Haue mercy on me O God, for I am weake: O God heale me, for my bones be very sore.
3
My soule also is greatly troubled: but O God howe long [shall I be in this case?]
4
Turne thee O God, and deliuer my soule: Oh saue me for thy mercies sake.
5
For in death no man remembreth thee: and in the graue who can acknowledge thee?
6
I am weerie of my groning: I washe my bed euery nyght, and I water my coutche with my teares.
7
Mine eye is almost put out through griefe: and worne out through all mine enemies.
8
Away from me all workers of iniquitie: for God hath hearde the voyce of my weeping.
9
God hath hearde my petition: God wyll receaue my prayer.
10
All myne enemies shalbe confounded and sore vexed: they shalbe turned backe, they shalbe put to shame sodainlye.
