1 A Psalme of Dauid, in recordation of the sabbath.
2 LORD rebuke me nor in thy furie: nor chastise me in thy wrath.
3 Because thy arrowes are fast sticked in me: and thou hast fastened thy hand vpon me.
4 There is no health in my flesh, at the face of thy wrath: my bones haue no peace at the face of my sinnes.
5 Because mine iniquities are gone ouer my head: and as a heauie burden are become heauie vpon me.
6 My scarres are putrified and corrupted, because of my folishnes.
7 I am become miserable, and am made crooked euen to the end: I went sorowful al the day.
8 Because my loynes are filled with illusions: and there is no health in my flesh.
9 I am afflicted and am humbled excedingly: I rored for the groning of my hart.
10 Lord, before thee is al my desire: and my groning is not hid from thee.
11 My hart is trubled, my strength hath forsaken me: and the light of mine eies, and the same is not with me.
12 My frendes, and my neighbores haue approched, & stood against me. And they that were neere me, stood far of:
13 and they did violence which sought my soule. And they that sought me euils, spake vanities: and meditated guiles al the day.
14 But I as one deafe did not heare: and as one dumme not opening his mouth.
15 And I became as a man not hearing: and not hauing reproofes in his mouth.
16 Because in thee ô Lord haue I hoped, thou wilt heare me ô Lord my God.
17 Because I said: Lest sometime mine enemies reioyce ouer me: and whiles my feete are moued, they speake great thinges vpon me.
18 Because I am readie for scourges: and my sorow is in my sight alwaies:
19 Because I wil declare my iniquitie: and I wil thinke for my sinne.
20 But mine enemies liue, and are confirmed ouer me: and they are multiplied that hate me vniustly.
21 They that repay euil thinges for good, detracted from me: because I folowed goodnes.
22 Forsake me not ô Lord my God, depart not from me. Attend vnto my help, ô Lord the God of my saluation.
