O Lord my God, consider well, and answer to me make: Mine eyes enlighten, lest the sleep of death me overtake:
The Lord will light my candle so, that it shall shine full bright: The Lord my God will also make my darkness to be light.
Give ear unto my words, O Lord, my meditation weigh.
Consider mine affliction, in safety do me set: Deliver me, O Lord, for I thy law do not forget.
I'll in thy mercy gladly joy: for thou my miseries Consider'd hast; thou hast my soul known in adversities:
Consider thou my foes, because they many are; And it a cruel hatred is which they against me bear.
Lord, pity me; behold the grief which I from foes sustain; Ev'n thou, who from the gates of death dost raise me up again;
