1 O Lord, rebuke me | not in thine • indig- | nation, ||

neither | chasten • me in | thy dis- | pleasure. ||

2 Have mercy upon me, O | Lord, • for I am | weak; ||

O Lord, | heal me, • for my | bones are | vexed. ||

3 My soul | also is • sore | troubled: ||

but, | Lord, how | 3 long wilt • thou | punish • me? ||

4 Turn thee, O Lord, and de- | 3 liver my | soul; ||

O | save me, | for thy | mercy’s • sake. ||

5 For in death | no • man re- | membereth • thee; ||

and | who will • give thee | thanks • in the | pit? ||

6 I am weary of my groaning; * every night 3 wash | I my | bed, ||

and | 3 water my | couch • with my | tears. ||

7 My beauty is | gone for • very | trouble, ||

and worn a- | way be•cause of | all mine | ene•mies. ||

8 Away from me, all | ye that • work | vani•ty; ||

for the Lord hath | heard the | 3 voice of • my | weeping. ||

8 Away from me, all | ye that • work | ini•quity; ||

for the Lord hath | heard the | 3 voice of • my | weeping. ||

9 The Lord hath | heard • my pe- | tition; ||

the | Lord • will re- | ceive my | prayer. ||

10 All mine enemies shall be con- | founded, and • sore | vexed; ||

they shall be turned | back, and • put to | shame | sudden•ly. ||

Glory | be • to the | Father, ||

and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||

As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||

is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
