Cast Your Burden upon the LORD 1 2Take heede vnto me, and heare me: I can not choose but mourne in my prayer, and make a noyse.
3 4My heart trembleth within me: and the feare of death is fallen vpon me. 5Fearefulnes and trembling are come vpon me: and an horrible dread hath ouerwhelmed me. 6And I sayde, O that I had wynges like a doue: for then woulde I flee away, and be at rest. 7Lo, then woulde I fleeing get me away farre of: and remayne in the wyldernesse. Selah.
8Then woulde I make hast to escape: from the stormie wynde,
9Destroy their tongues O Lorde, and deuide 10They do compasse it day and night within the walles: mischiefe also and labour, are in the midst of it. 11Malice is in the midst of it: disceipt and guyle go not out of her streates. 12Truely he was not mine enemie that hath done me this dishonour, for then I coulde haue borne it: neither was he one that seemed to hate me that dyd magnifie hym selfe against me, for then I woulde haue hyd my selfe from him. 13But it was euen thou whom I esteemed as my selfe: my guyde, and myne owne familier companion. 14We delighted greatly to conferre our secretes together: we walked deuoutly in the house of God felowe lyke. 15Let death sodainly come vpon them, let them go downe quicke into hell: for wickednes is in their dwellinges and among them. 16As for me I wyll crye vnto the Lord: and God wyll saue me. 17In the euening and morning, and at noone day wyll I pray, and that most instantly: and he wyll heare my voyce. 18He hath redeemed my soule through peace from the battayle that was against me: for there were many with me.
19The Lorde who sitteth 20He layde his handes vpon such as be at peace with him: and he brake his couenaunt.
21The 22O cast thy burthen vpon God, and he wyll vpholde thee: he wyll not suffer at any time the righteous to moue.
