1 T o the chiefe musition on Neginoth vpon eyght, a psalme of Dauid. 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.
