Do Not Rebuke Me in Your Anger 1
2For thyne arrowes sticke fast in me: and thy hande presseth me sore.
3There is no helath in my flesh through thy displeasure: neither is there any rest in my bones by reason of my sinne.
4For my manyfolde wickednes is gone ouer my head: and like a sore burthen is to heauie for me to beare.
5My woundes stinke and are corrupt: through my foolishnes.
6I am become crooked, and am exceedingly pulled downe: I go a mourning all the day long.
7For my loynes are filled with heate: and there is no whole part in my body.
8I am feeble and sore smitten: I haue rored for the very disquietnesse of my heart.
9Lorde thou knowest all my desire: and my gronyng is not hyd from thee.
10My heart panteth, my strength hath fayled me: and the lyght of myne eyes is gone from me.
11My louers and my neygbours dyd stande on the other syde lokyng vpon my plague: and my kinsmen stoode a farre of.
12They also that sought after my lyfe layde snares
13As for me, as one deafe I woulde not heare: and
14I became euen as a man that heareth not: and who hath no replies in his mouth.
15For on thee O God I haue wayted: thou shalt aunswere for me O Lorde my God.
16For I sayde
17Because I am disposed to a haltyng: and my sorowe is euer in my syght.
18Because I confesse my wickednesse: and am sory for my sinne.
19But myne enemies lyuyng
20They also that rewarde euyl for good are agaynst me: because I folowe the thyng that is good.
21Forsake me not O God: O my Lorde be not thou farre fro me.
22Haste thee to helpe me: O Lorde my saluation. |
