2Expecting I expected our Lord, and he hath attended to me.EXPECTING I expected our Lord, and he hath attended to me.Exspectans exspectavi Dominum, et intendit mihi.
3And he heard my prayers, and brought me out of the lake of misery, and from the mire of dregs. And hath set my feet upon a rock: and hath directed my steps.And he heard my prayers, and brought me out of the lake of miſerie, and from the myre of dregges. And hath ſet my feete vpon a rocke: and hath directed my ſteppes.Et exaudivit preces meas, et eduxit me de lacu miseriæ et de luto fæcis. Et statuit super petram pedes meos, et direxit gressus meos.

I haue declared and haue ſpoken: they multiplied aboue number.Multa fecisti tu, Domine Deus meus, mirabilia tua ; et cogitationibus tuis non est qui similis sit tibi. Annuntiavi et locutus sum : multiplicati sunt super numerum.
7Sacrifice and oblation thou wouldest not: but ears thou hast perfecisti: made perfect, fashioned to me. holocaustum: whole burnt offering and for sin thou didst not require:Sacrifice and oblation thou wouldeſt not: but eares thou haſt perfited to me. Holocauſt and for ſinne thou didſt not require:Sacrificium et oblationem noluisti ; aures autem perfecisti mihi. Holocaustum et pro peccato non postulasti ;
8then said I; Behold I come.then ſaid I; Behold I come.tunc dixi : Ecce venio. In capite libri scriptum est de me,

10I have declared thy justice in the great Church, lo I will not stay my lips: Lord thou hast known it.I haue declared thy iuſtice in the great Church, loe I wil not ſtay my lippes: Lord thou haſt knowen it.Annuntiavi justitiam tuam in ecclesia magna ; ecce labia mea non prohibebo : Domine, tu scisti.
11Thy justice I have not hid in my heart: thy truth and thy salvation I have spoken. I have not hid thy mercy, and thy truth from the great council.Thy iuſtice I haue not hid in my hart: thy truth and thy ſaluation I haue ſpoken. I haue not hid thy mercie, and thy truth from the great councel.Justitiam tuam non abscondi in corde meo ; veritatem tuam et salutare tuum dixi ; non abscondi misericordiam tuam et veritatem tuam a concilio multo.

13Because evils have circumdederunt: surrounded, encompassed me, which have no number: mine iniquities have overtaken me, and I was not able to see. They are multiplied above the hairs of my head: and my heart hath forsaken me.Becauſe euils haue compaſſed me, which haue no number: mine iniquities haue ouertaken me, & I was not able to ſee. They are multiplied aboue the heares of my head: and my hart hath forſaken me.Quoniam circumdederunt me mala quorum non est numerus ; comprehenderunt me iniquitates meæ, et non potui ut viderem. Multiplicatæ sunt super capillos capitis mei, et cor meum dereliquit me.
