1 To the chiefe musition on Neginoth vpon eyght, a psalme of Dauid. O God rebuke me not in thine indignation: neither chasten me in thy wrath.

2 Haue mercy on me O God, for I am weake: O God heale me, for my bones be very sore.

3 My soule also is greatly troubled: but O God howe long shall I be in this case?

4 Turne thee O God, and deliuer my soule: Oh saue me for thy mercies sake.

5 For in death no man remembreth thee: and in the graue who can acknowledge thee?

6 I am weerie of my groning: I washe my bed euery nyght, and I water my coutche with my teares.

7 Mine eye is almost put out through griefe: and worne out through all mine enemies.

8 Away from me all workers of iniquitie: for God hath hearde the voyce of my weeping.

9 God hath hearde my petition: God wyll receaue my prayer.
