PSALM XXXviii. Domine, ne in furore. Tonus Peregrinus. p. 16. PUT me not to rebuke, O Lord, in thine an-ger: neither chasten me in thy { heavy displea-sure. 2 For thine arrows stick fast in me: and thy { hand presseth me sore. 3 There is no health in my flesh,* be- { cause of thy dis-plea-sure: neither is there any rest in my bones,* by rea-son of my sin. 4 For my wickednesses are gone and are like a sore burden,* too bear. o-ver my head: heavy for me to 5 My wounds stink, and are cor-rupt: through my fool-ish-ness. 6 I am brought into so great trouble and misery that I go mourning all the day long. 7 For my loins are filled with a sore dis-ease: and there is no whole part in my bo-dy. { 8 I am { feeble, and sore smit-ten: I have roared for the very dis-quiet-ness of my heart. 9 Lord, thou know-est all my de-sire and my groaning is not hid from thee. Tonus Peregrinus. p. 16. 10 My heart panteth,* my strength hath failed me: and the sight of mine eyes is gone from me. 11 My lovers and my neighbours did stand { look-ing_up-on my trou-ble: and my kinsmen { stood a-far off. 12 They also that sought after my { life laid snares for me: and they that went about to do me evil, talked of wickedness,* and imagined de- { ceit all the day long. 13 As for me,* I was like a deaf man, and heard not and as one that is dumb,* who { doth not open his mouth. 14 I became even as a man that heareth not: and in whose mouth are no re-proofs. 15 For in thee, O Lord, { have I put my trust: thou shalt answer { for me, O Lord my God. 16 I have required that they, even mine enemies,* { should not tri-umph over me: for when my foot slipped,* they rejoiced greatly a-gainst me. 17 And I, truly, am { set in the plague: and my heaviness is ev-er in my sight. 18 For I will con-fess my wicked-ness: and be{sor-ry for my sin. 19 But mine enemies live and are migh-ty: and they that hate me wrongfully are { many in num-ber. 20 They also that reward evil for good are against me: because I follow the } thing that good is. 21 Forsake me { not, O Lord, my God: be not { thou far from me. 22 Haste thee to help me: O Lord God of { my sal-va-tion. Evening Prayer. [cii, cxxx, cxliii.] PSALM cii. Domine, exaudi. Tone 8. C. (2.) p. 15. † (1.) p. 15. HEAR my prayer, O § Lord: and let my crying come unto thee. 2 Hide not thy face from me in the time of my trou-ble: incline thine ear unto me when I call;* O hear me, and that right { soon. 3 For my days are consumed away like { smoke: and my bones are burned up as it were a firebrand. 4 My heart is smitten down, and withered like grass so that I forget to eat my bread. 5 For the voice of my groan-ing: my bones will scarce cleave to my flesh. 6 I am become like a pelican in the wil derness and like an owl that is in the : de-sert. 7 I have watched, and am even as it were a { spar-row that sitteth alone upon the house-top. { 8 Mine enemies revile me all the day long: and they that are mad upon me are sworn together a- { gainst me. 9 For I have eaten ashes as it were bread: and mingled my drink with { weep-ing. 10 And that because of thine indignation and wrath for thou hast taken me up and cast me { down. 11 My days are gone like a shá-dow: and I am withered like { grass. 12 † But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for { ev-er and thy remembrance throughout all gener-a-tions. : 13 Thou shalt arise,* and have mercy upon Si-on for it is time that thou have mercy upon her,* yea, the time is come. { 14 † And why?* thy servants think upon her stones and it pitieth them to see her in the { dust. 15 The heathen shall fear thy Name, O{ Lord: and all the kings of the earth thy Majes-ty; 16 When the Lord shall build up { Si-on: and when his glory shall ap- { pear; 17+ When he turneth him unto the prayer of the poor des-titute: and despiseth not their de-sire. 18 This shall be written for those that come af-ter: and the people which shall be born shall praise the Lord. 19 † For he hath looked down from his { sanctuary: out of the heaven did the Lord behold the { earth; 20+ That he might hear the mournings of such as are in cap-ti-vity: and deliver the children appointed unto { death ; 21 That they may declare the Name of the Lord in Si-on: and his worship at Je- rusa-lem; 22 † When the people are gathered to- { gether: and the kingdoms also,* to serve the Lord. } 23 He brought down my strength in my { journey: and shortened my days. { 24 But I said,* O my God, take me not away |
