King David, or any other penitent, earnestly prayeth God to remit his sins, and mitigate the pains which he acknowledgeth himself to have deserved, 12. lamenting the afflictions which he suffereth by such as sometimes were his friends, 14. whose temptations he now resisteth, trusting in God, resigning himself to God's will, confessing his own iniquity, and humbly praying for God's help.King Dauid, or anie other penitent, earneſtly prayeth God to remitte his ſinnes, and mitigate the paines which he acknowledgeth him ſelfe to haue deſerued, 12. lamenting the afflictions which he ſuffereth by ſuch as ſometimes were his freindes, 14. whoſe tentations he now reſiſteth, truſting in God, reſigning himſelfe to Gods wil, confeſſing his owne iniquitie, and humbly praying for Gods helpe.✦
A Psalm of David, in a rememoratio: remembrance, memorial of the sabbath.A Pſalme of Dauid, in a recordation of the ſabbath.Psalmus David, in rememorationem de sabbato.
2Lord rebuke me not in thy fury: nor chastise me in thy wrath.LORD rebuke me not in thy furie: nor chaſtiſe me in thy wrath.Domine, ne in furore tuo arguas me, neque in ira tua corripias me :
3Because thy arrows are fast infixæ: stuck, fixed fast in me: and thou hast fastened thy hand upon me.Becauſe thy arrowes are faſt ſticked in me: and thou haſt faſtened thy hand vpon me.quoniam sagittæ tuæ infixæ sunt mihi, et confirmasti super me manum tuam.
4There is no health in my flesh, at the face of thy wrath: my bones have no peace at the face of my sins.There is no health in my fleſh, at the face of thy wrath: my bones haue no peace at the face of my ſinnes.Non est sanitas in carne mea, a facie iræ tuæ ; non est pax ossibus meis, a facie peccatorum meorum :
5Because mine iniquities are gone over my head: and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me.Becauſe mine iniquities are gone ouer my head: and as a heauie burden are become heauie vpon me.quoniam iniquitates meæ supergressæ sunt caput meum, et sicut onus grave gravatæ sunt super me.
6My scars are putrefied and corrupted, because of my foolishness.My ſcarres are putrified and corrupted, becauſe of my foliſhnes.Putruerunt et corruptæ sunt cicatrices meæ, a facie insipientiæ meæ.
7I am become miserable, and am made crooked even to the end: I went sorrowful all the day.I am become miſerable, and am made crooked euen to the end: I went ſorowful al the day.Miser factus sum et curvatus sum usque in finem ; tota die contristatus ingrediebar.
8Because my loins are filled with illusionibus: (not optical tricks) delusions, mockeries: and there is no health in my flesh.Becauſe my loynes are filled with illuſions: and there is no health in my fleſh.Quoniam lumbi mei impleti sunt illusionibus, et non est sanitas in carne mea.
9I am afflicted and am humbled exceedingly: I roared for the groaning of my heart.I am afflicted and am humbled excedingly: I rored for the groning of my hart.Afflictus sum, et humiliatus sum nimis ; rugiebam a gemitu cordis mei.
10Lord, before thee is all my desire: and my groaning is not hid from thee.Lord, before thee is al my deſire: and my groning is not hid from thee.Domine, ante te omne desiderium meum, et gemitus meus a te non est absconditus.
11My heart is troubled, my strength hath forsaken me: and the light of mine eyes, and the same is not with me.My hart is trubled, my ſtrength hath forſaken me: and the light of mine eies, and the ſame is not with me.Cor meum conturbatum est ; dereliquit me virtus mea, et lumen oculorum meorum, et ipsum non est mecum.
12My friends, and my neighbours have approached, and stood against me. And they that were near me, stood far off:My frendes, and my neighbores haue approched, & ſtood againſt me. And they that were neere me, ſtood far of:Amici mei et proximi mei adversum me appropinquaverunt, et steterunt ; et qui juxta me erant, de longe steterunt : et vim faciebant qui quærebant animam meam.
13and they did violence which sought my soul. And they that sought me evils, spake vanities: and meditated guiles all the day.and they did violence which ſought my ſoule. And they that ſought me euils, ſpake vanities: and meditated guiles al the day.Et qui inquirebant mala mihi, locuti sunt vanitates, et dolos tota die meditabantur.
14But I as one deaf did not hear: and as one dumb not opening his mouth.But I as one deafe did not heare: and as one dumme not opening his mouth.Ego autem, tamquam surdus, non audiebam ; et sicut mutus non aperiens os suum.
15And I became as a man not hearing: and not having reproofs in his mouth.And I became as a man not hearing: and not hauing reproofes in his mouth.Et factus sum sicut homo non audiens, et non habens in ore suo redargutiones.
16Because in thee O Lord have I hoped, thou wilt hear me O Lord my God.Becauſe in thee ó Lord haue I hoped, thou wilt heare me ó Lord my God.Quoniam in te, Domine, speravi ; tu exaudies me, Domine Deus meus.
17Because I said: Lest sometime mine enemies rejoice over me: and whiles my feet are moved, they speak great things upon me.Becauſe I ſaid: Leſt ſometime mine enemies reioyce ouer me: and whiles my feete are moued, they ſpeake great thinges vpon me.Quia dixi : Nequando supergaudeant mihi inimici mei ; et dum commoventur pedes mei, super me magna locuti sunt.
18Because I am ready for scourges: and my sorrow is in my sight always:Becauſe I am readie for ſcourges: and my ſorow is in my ſight alwaies:Quoniam ego in flagella paratus sum, et dolor meus in conspectu meo semper.
19Because I will declare my iniquity: and I will think for my sin.Becauſe I wil declare my iniquitie: and I wil thinke for my ſinne.Quoniam iniquitatem meam annuntiabo, et cogitabo pro peccato meo.
20But mine enemies live, and are confirmati: (not verified) strengthened, made strong over me: and they are multiplied that hate me unjustly.But mine enemies liue, and are confirmed ouer me: and they are multiplied that hate me vniuſtly.Inimici autem mei vivunt, et confirmati sunt super me : et multiplicati sunt qui oderunt me inique.
21They that repay evil things for good, detrahebant: (not subtracted) disparaged, spoke ill of me from me: because I followed goodness.They that repay euil thinges for good, detracted from me: becauſe I folowed goodnes.Qui retribuunt mala pro bonis detrahebant mihi, quoniam sequebar bonitatem.
22Forsake me not O Lord my God, depart not from me.Forſake me not ó Lord my God, depart not from me.Ne derelinquas me, Domine Deus meus ; ne discesseris a me.
23Attend unto my help, O Lord the God of my salvation.Attend vnto my help, ó Lord the God of my ſaluation.Intende in adjutorium meum, Domine Deus salutis meæ.
