1 Dauids complaint in his sicknesse. 8 By faith he triumpheth ouer his enemies.

¹ [To the chiefe musician on Neginoth vpon Sheminith, A Psalme of Dauid.] O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.¹

⁴ Returne, O Lord, deliuer my soule: oh saue mee, for thy mercies sake.

⁵ For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the graue who shall giue thee thankes?⁵

⁶ I am weary with my groning, all the night make I my bed to swim: I water my couch with my teares.⁶

⁷ Mine eie is consumed because of griefe; it waxeth olde because of all mine enemies.

⁸ Depart from me, all yee workers of iniquitie: for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.⁸

⁹ The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receiue my prayer.

¹⁰ Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them returne and be ashamed suddainly.
