O hide not thou thy face from me
Hear when I call to thee, that day
An anfwer speedily return.

3 My days like fmoke confume away,
And as an hearth my bones do burn.
4 My heart is wounded very fore,
And withered, like grafs, doth fade:
I am forgetful grown therefore
To take and eat my daily bread.

By reafon of my fmart within,
And voice of my mott grievous groans
My flesh contamed is; my skin
All parch'd doth cleave unto my bones.
6 The pelican of wildernefs,
The owl in defarts I do match :
7. And fparrow like companionless,
Upon the houfes top I watch.

I all day long am made a fcorn,
Reproach'd by my malicious foes:
The mad men are against me (worn,
The men against me that arole.

For I have athes eaten up,
Te me as if they had been bread;
And with my drink 1 in my cup
Of bitter tears a mixture made.
10 Becaule thy wrath was not appeas'd,
And dreadful indignation,

Therefore it was that thou me rais'd,
And thou again didst cast me down.
11 My days are like a fhade alway,
Which doth declining (wiftly país:
And I am withered away
Much like unto the fading grafs.

12 But thou, O Lord, fhalt ftill endure
From change and all mutation free,
And, to all generations, fure
Shall thy remembrance ever be.
13 Thou shalt arife, and mercy yet
Thou to mount Zion fhalt extend:
Her time for favour which was fet,
Behold, is now come to an end.
14 Thy faints take pleasure in her stones,
Her very duft to them isdear.
15 All heathen lands and kingly thrones
On earth thy glorious name fhall fear.
16 God in his glory fhall appear,
When Zion he builds and repairs.
37 He thall regard and lend his ear
Unto the needy's humble pray'rs :
Th' afflicted's pray'r he will not feorn.
18 All times this shall be in record,
And generations yet unborn
Shall praife and magnifie the Lord.
19 He from his holy place look'd down,
Thecarthhe view'd from heaven on high,
20Tohear the pris ners mourning groans,
And free them that are doom d to die.
21 That Zion and Jerusʻlem 00

His name and praise may well record;
22 When people and the kingdoms do
Affemble all to praise the Lord

23 My strength he weakned in the way,
My days of life he shortene.

In mid time of my days, I faid:

So great to thofe that do him fear,
